[opensuse] yum repos and zypper update

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an obvious reason "zypper update" would
say there is nothing to do even when a newer version of a package has
been added to a yum repo I have defined.

Yes, I did a "zypper refresh" to force an update of the cache.

And even more interesting, I can do a "zypper search whatever"
and it shows me there is a newer "whatever" in the repo, it just
doesn't think it needs to install it when I run an update.

In a near identical repo constructed with similar new versions of
"whatever"s a "yum update" on a fedora box happily downloads
and installs the newer version.

I'm sure there is something we don't understand about zypper
and repo conventions, I just wish I knew what it was :-). Can
anyone help?
