Ah, so you think that it is zypper which is "telling" you the truth? Zypper *is* telling you the truth, but *you* must understand what you *actually* asked of zypper and apparently it is not what you think.
Well, from my experience in recent times - this did not happen until I would consider the beginning of this year - was that I trusted zypper. Every morning I would do "zypper refresh" and then do "zypper up" and found that zypper's response was "Nothing to do". [...]
"zypper up" does not change repos's and will not upgrade *anything* that is not in the repo the installed program version is in, unless you have changed it in zypp.conf. "zypper dup" will show you *all* possible upgrades reguardless of the repo, providing the repos have the same priorities.
"Understanding" is the *key* to your dilemma :^)
man zypper.
