Looks like it was a result of the versioning scheme that you're using.

I had dnf-0.4.12-1.git3584018.fc20.noarch installed and the latest build
as of today is dnf-0.4.12-1.git01649a8.fc20.noarch.rpm. Since
0.4.12-1.git3584018 > 0.4.12-1.git01649a8, neither yum, nor dnf saw the
newest package as an update. I'm not sure why neither of them listed the
package, though. Can you please use a correct version scheme as required
by the package guidelines, or bump the release to 1 1.1 1.2 etc? Git
commit hashes are not incremental and therefore the upgrade path will
not always be correct if packages continue with this version scheme.

The current versions are:
Build #453: 	dnf-0.4.12-1.git7613c16.fc20.noarch.rpm
Build #454:	dnf-0.4.12-1.git8c69fa2.fc20.noarch.rpm
Build #455:	dnf-0.4.12-1.git01649a8.fc20.noarch.rpm

As you see, they're not incremental and as a result, folks won't receive
updates if the installed version is > the latest build version.

Rather funnily, *downgrading* the package gave me the *latest* build
