It indicates problems in ordering; if the package in a newer
repository has a E-V-R that places it lower in the ordering than the
version of that package in an older repository, upgrades from one
Fedora release to another will be broken.

It is certainly correct with what's actually in the repository.
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.38.src.rpm is what's in rawhide currently.

IK> [raven at raven devel]$ brew latest-pkg dist-fc7 autofs

I don't think that has any relevance or meaning to anyone outside of
Red Hat, unfortunately.  Perhaps that version didn't actually get
pushed out?
