The part "1:" is rpm's "Epoch" which has higher priority than Version, so rpm regards that "1:2.2.8" is higher than "2.2.9". Usually Epoch is introduced when the maintainer wants to intentionally downgrade version like this (because it was found that higher version had some issue or so), or when the upstream uses some strange versioning strategy.
