Well, quite likely, but not deliberately. AFAICT, there had been broken 
F22 pushes and quite a few broken/out-of-sync F22 EU mirrors, this week.

Also, FWIW, I have been facing these issues on 3 machines with fully 
updated F21. From this, I conclude likely is a systematic problem and 
not a "random repository hick-up"

This is what I am observing on 2 of these boxes right now:

# yum update
...
No packages marked for update

# fedup --network 22
WARNING: potential problems with upgrade
   firefox-38.0-4.fc21.x86_64 (no replacement) requires 
libicu-52.1-6.fc21.x86_64 (replaced by libicu-54.1-1.fc22.x86_64)
...
WARNING: problems were encountered during transaction test:
   broken dependencies
     firefox-38.0-4.fc21.x86_64 requires libicu-52.1-6.fc21.x86_64
...

IMO, today's case seems to be caused by an inconsistency between the 
Fedora 21 and Fedora 22 repos. This would be the classic design flaw in 
fedora's release process during this phase of release preps (fc21's 
firefox is newer than fc22's, but fc21's firefox depends on older libs)
