Well, it should IMHO. Since it helps the solver to decide whats a
'best' package is:

repository openSUSE with priority 99 containing package foo-0.9-stable
repository Experimental with priority 50 containing package foo-1.1-unstable

An innocent user requesting the installation of 'foo' should get
foo-0.9, since its probably the 'best' from a distribution and
maintenance/support perspective.

An experienced user might want to change priorities, willing to take
the risk of a 'leading edge' version of 'foo'.
