I have had this sort of thing happening to me a few times. From what I 
remember, Bodhi doesn't seems to obsolete packages that are in the pending 
state for updates-testing, so if you submit a new build within a day or so 
of the previous one (for example if a security update comes out just after 
another build) then bodhi may not obsolete the older build automatically.
