Telling you some package will not be installed is just a way of saying an _upgrade_ version is available, as opposed to the _update_ version that zypper up proposes to install.
Ah hah! Thanks Felix!
Now I remember what I did in 11.3 that solved the problem with it not grabbing the latest kernel. There is that new option in zypp.conf that provides the old behavior for zypper and yast that prevents build service versions (alternate versions of packages) from being hidden from the update process. (I can't remember what it is called at the moment -- my 11.3 box isn't up)
But basically, it prevents you from having to tell yast to 'switch' packages to newer versions in the wanted repository.
Somebody with a better memory please post the option. I'll get to my box at work tomorrow and post it if somebody hasn't filled it in.
Note, when you set the option that shows all available packages -- just be smart about solving any dependency issue to prevent any conflicts. (All have been simple choices so far with 11.3)
