Koji uses the "latest" package in a tag to populate the repodata/buildroots, where "latest" equals "most recently tagged".

$ koji --server http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub list-tag-history --tag dist-f11 --package wxGTK
Sun Apr  5 11:52:54 2009: Tagged wxGTK-2.8.10-1.fc11 with dist-f11 [still active]
Thu Apr  9 19:08:22 2009: Tagged wxGTK-2.8.9-4.fc11 with dist-f11 [still active]

wxGTK-2.8.9-4.fc11 was tagged most recently, so it's considered the "latest".  To fix the issue, either untag wxGTK-2.8.9-4.fc11 or untag-and-retag wxGTK-2.8.10-1.fc11 (which would then become the "latest").

This behavior is intentional and useful, but it can cause unexpected behavior like this if you don't realize how Koji populates buildroots.
