That is normal. For any release, there are some packages that don't need
recompiling just for that release, and a prior one will be used, as-is.
Just quickly looking through a local mirror at the packages for
installing Fedora 14, I can see a quite few Fedora 12 packages in there.

However, if I look through it for packages with tzdata in their name, I
find the following:

  joda-time-1.6.2-2.tzdata2010l.fc14.noarch.rpm
  joda-time-javadoc-1.6.2-2.tzdata2010l.fc14.noarch.rpm
  tzdata-2010k-1.fc14.noarch.rpm
  tzdata-java-2010k-1.fc14.noarch.rpm

So there is a Fedora 14 tzdata package.

Maybe you should try doing an uninstall and reinstall of it, rather than
update or install.
