And then, on my wife's computer which is still running 12.2 - as "She who must be obeyed" doesn't want me (yet) to upgrade her system to 12.3 - I also use the kernel:stable:stable repo with the same Priority set and I found that when I went to update her system with "zypper up" it would come up with the latest kernel and would then install it. Doing the same a few minutes later on my 12.3 system I would get "Nothing to do" from zypper. But going to YaST I got the kernel updated. So now I stick with YaST, thank you.
With secondary repos in the mix it is easy to get confused as to what is right. Zypper up should never update a package currently installed from the main repos to a package in a add-on repo. Once you force it to the use the add-on repo, zypper up should never switch you back. You can get zypper to switch repos like that, but I will often use yast if I want to see what's available in various repos, then install the one of my choice.
