When yum distro-sync updates some packages and downgrades others, during the transaction it says "Updating :" for the updated packages, but "Installing :" for the downgraded ones. Is there a reason for that? I would only expect to see "Installing :" for a newly installed package.
(I considered posting this on the test list, since distro-sync is more commonly used there, but it's not exclusive to test releases.)

Probably just a cosmetic thing because technically a downgrade is just removal and installation of the older version as a new package. File a bug report.
