i thought i'd replied to this before, and i had -- only to jdd,
unfortunately. having a spate of unintentional personal replies again
lately :(

zypper does the same: it refreshes everything that needs refreshing, then
calculates what it's going to do with the info available: packages in
various repo.s, repo priorities in case of 'zypper dup', then
it presents the user with the available options to the dependency
conflicts, if any. only when that's done does it start downloading &
installing.

to solve dependency issues, i prefer YAST, too, since it's easier to see  
what happens when deciding to keep this or break that...
