It was done at least once (in pre-F7 times, maybe FC6, FC5 or so) for a broken
kernel upgrade. The maintainer decided that it's better to withdraw the broken
update to minimize damage until it's fixed. It may well be that this is what
happened here too.
I have reopened the update request and added the Security keyword.
