smart doesn't upgrade to newest version with 3rd party repos

[Robert Xu]

With Smart 1.4 (yes, smart 1.4) and smart 1.3/1.3.1, if there are third-party repositories added, smart for some reason doesn't upgrade to the newest version.

For example:

I have the repository openSUSE:/Tools.
I run "Upgrade all", and it gives me "No interesting upgrades available!"
BUT.
I search for osc-source_validator and it gives me:

osc-source_validator : version 0.0-2.1@noarch
osc-source_validator : version 0.0-5.1@noarch

And when I click the newer one, it asks to upgrade!

Also, running "smart install osc-source_validator" still only gives me version 0.0-2.1@noarch as the latest.

Can't reproduce that here: "smart install osc-source_validator"

Well, Here's something. This might have something to do with it.
I have here Smart 1.3.1 with Unity Main repos, as well as testing and unstable..
And the same package shows up twice.
Why can't smart see that one is newer?
