No, the proper way for yum to do is to not upgrade a package
(synaptic) if it is going to miss its (explicit) dependencies (apt
with a given version/release).

The repo bug is most probably in synaptic from extras requiring
explicitely apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362, i.e. not allowing other apt with
different release tags.
