That's normal. Anaconda can't do downgrades, so "upgrading" from Fedora n + 
updates to just Fedora n (with the same n) isn't going to work, or even do 
anything. So it prevents you from doing that.

If you know what you're doing, you can use the "upgradeany" boot option. You 
can even upgrade RHEL/CentOS to Fedora that way.
