Hi,

I can't see any possibility for multiple baseurl entries in .repo file
(or any other entry) in the documentation:
http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/RepoInfo

It seems you were lucky to add the "working" URL as the "last" one,
which indicates the .repo file parser in libzypp runs through the file
line by line and uses the last entry (guessing).

Bye
Lukas
