it was done on purpose this is because the newer rpm version build in rawhide 
has a dependency on the new glibc.  which needs the newer rpm with xz 
compression.  we wanted to make sure that people would be able to update there 
systems so we tagged in the newer one from F-11 that provides xz support but 
doesnt need the newer glibc.
