This is probably because FF 3.5.8 is in the normal repository and FF
3.6.0 is in rawhide.  3.5.8 is the most current for F12.  If you install
from rawhide you'll get 3.6.0.f13.

You should check your yum.log to see what transpired and when.  FWIW,
I've seen some folks download FF3.6 from mozilla and install it
themselves.  i.e. non-RPM, forget what they did, and then wonder what
happened.
