ACtually a very interesting question.

Me, as a user, would expect the following:
-> foo-0.9 from repository Y is being installed and maintained.

If I change the priorities, the system, just at this moment, should not do 
anything.
On the next upgrade cycle (zypper up -t package) it should evaluate it and make 
decisions. There I would expect it not to downgrade a package though, even if a 
repo with higher priority has a older version. 

I see it especially as important when I install a new RPM.
