Nope, it fails, with weird errors, like package not found on repo.
That's one of the reasons I said that factory should keep versions numbers, a timestamp. If while downloading zypper sees a different stamp than at the beginning, it should abort with informative error. The timestamp could perhaps also be used to keep snapshots of the repo, so that we users are guaranteed the repo doesn't change for some days.
That requires double disk space. And there is no guarantee that we won't have to restart the download many times.

Confirmed - factory was replaced upstream, and it was in the course of
disappearing on ftp.gwdg.de just during your update.
According to the URL, you are using ftp.gwdg.de directly as entry point?
YMMV.
Btw, what does zypper do in such a case? Does it restart the update in
such a case?

It should do the same as Yum, IMO: download metadata + packages, and
when that fails at any point, you'd refresh the local metadata and start
over, and once you have a consistent state on your system (including
packages) _then_ start the actual update.
That requires double disk space. And there is no guarantee that we won't have to restart the download many times.
