why does yumdownloader grab i586 package on an x86_64 system?

  i wanted to download all binary rpms related to asterisk, so i ran:

$ yumdownloader --resolve "asterisk*"

and got a whack of x86_64 asterisk packages, plus a few dependencies
(which is what i expected), but in the midst of all that, i also got:

...
asterisk-devel-1.6.1-0.23.rc1.fc11.i586.rpm
asterisk-devel-1.6.1-0.23.rc1.fc11.x86_64.rpm
...

why would i have picked up that i586 package, given that i already
have the x86_64 package.  i deleted that package, and re-ran as:

$ yumdownloader --resolve --archlist=x86_64 "asterisk*"

but still got the i586 package again.  thoughts?  and that's the only
i586 package file that was downloaded in the midst of dozens of x86_64
packages.
