I guess "zypper lu" does not display what "zypper dup" will do.

zypper up updates your system, defined as a collection of packages from a certain vendor.

zypper dup CHANGES your system to a new state. It may downgrade, uninstall, remove, packages. The state is defined by the repository you dup against or repo priorities if you are not doing against a specific one.

People still don't get the difference. Debian has dist-upgrade and upgrade too IIRC.
