Here's a quick way of checking:

RH 7.3

rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{EPOCH}\n" postfix

Jacco probably could use the Epoch on your own rpms to force current to
see the differently labeled packages as newer just add: 

Epoch: 1

Or whatever number.

channel.py has the epoch comparing stuff in labelCompare.
