It is. It's in the updates-testing repo, like it tells you above.
No. Christoph refers to a build found in koji and compared that with
what is available in updates-testing. The newer build is not.

It seems logical to find an update candidate in the testing repo.
No, that's false information.
A package in koji which is tagged as "dist-*-updates-candidate" is available
for packagers to be published as updates requests in bodhi (the Fedora Updates
System). When pushed into a repo, it will either be tagged with
"dist-*-updates-testing" or "dist-*-updates". Candidates are only
available in koji (and not even in the koji buildroot repos, depending
on what dist is built for).
