You just moved 4.12 into Tumbleweed standard as 4.12.2-2.1 or greater in a few instances, but the last last version in Tumbleweed Testing was 4.12.2-4.1 so "zypper dup" wants to downgrade 143 pkgs on my box to 4.12.2-1.
I don't know the details, but the implied assumption that 4.12.2-4 from one repo is newer than 4.12.2-1 from another repo is wrong.
Anything after the - is repo specific and comparisons can simply not be made. Specifically if something at revision 4.12.2-4 is pushed as a brand new package to a different repo, it will be considered a virgin package in the new repo and will be numbered 4.12.2-1
