no
"yum distro-sync" is EXACTLY for "i want all me installed packages
in the same version as they are currently in the repos and REALLY
in the same version, independent if this means update / downgrade
or whatever"
this is as example the way to go if you have installed packages
from updates-testing which you want get rid of
"distro-sync" is the only way to get to a 100% defined package set
If that's actually what you want, then OK. But that's not what the OP
asked about.
