  even though i've enabled the updates-testing repo on my fedora 22
system, i can't seem to update to the newer packages in that repo.
i've got everything set up exactly as it's described here:

but even though my updates-testing repo is enabled, i'm told there's
"Nothing to do"; however, it *seems* that there is clearly a newer
version of a package i'm interested in:

$ dnf info cockpit

  as you can see, the installed version is 0.60, while the
updates-testing version is 0.62. so ... what am i misunderstanding
here?
