At a guess, these failed the rebuilds, perhaps?
Not necessarily; especially if these are 'noarch' packages which
were just "carried over" to subsequent distros. They also could be
"orphans" and 'package-cleanup --orphans' may have something to say
on the subject. If something is not orphan then it is current
regardless of its tag.
Packages which were replaced by updates will be orphans too even if
a distro tag is what you expect.
