What does it mean?
You are aware, of course, that Leap 15.3 and SLE are basically in lock-step now.
Indeed I am. But conversations in these lists and in other forums seem to suggest that the lock may be a little less than tidy. Hence the confusion. It was a bit less than tidy. Now it is not. I have not had any problems with miscreant patches for at least a week now.
What was the reason of problem before?
How was the problem fixed? I don't know the answers to these questions. The problem was that

What do users that installed earlier and presumably "untidy" configuration need to do to "tidy" their configuration?
Nothing, someone from SUSE posted here or another list that the problem with the patches was resolved. In my experience, it has been.
This is technical support list. All your answers so far amount to "and now all is well" which is pretty useless.
To the extent that "all is well" answers the questions posed in this thread, I have no idea why you are complaining. Do you think I should be answering every technical issue that exists with 15.3 in a thread that is limited to asking specific questions about updates to the release?
Quoting this article
"The openSUSE specific package repositories called oss and non-oss repositories changed. While these two repositories contained all the content of Leap 15.2 and older, they now contain only the branding and related setup packages."
That is not what I see on s.o.o. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/oss/ contains full distribution.
That is not the question here. The question is whether or not there is any impediment to upgrading to 15.3, and I have given my opinion from my experience: There is not. If you have any issues with how all those web pages are worded vs. what you see in the repositories, I suggest you take the matter up with someone who can discuss this with you.
