Yum - Different OS version and Arch

  Running Fedora 14 x86_64, i was trying to search for a package using 
YUM. The search results lists multiple versions [Fc12, Fc13, Fc14] and 
different arch [i686 and x86_64], of which i just need it to list 
against Fc14 and x86_64. Why is this so, can we prevent this or is this 
a bad/undesirable feature in yum.
