highest version first and then closest arch second. Unless the maintainer
messes around with the build archs then the version on each arch would be
the same and yum would keep x86_64. If on the other hand the maintiner
deliberately disabled x86_64 because (however unlikely) upstream stopped
supporting it then installing i386 over x86_64 in the next version probably
makes more sense anyway.
