Even its developer seems to disagree with that:

  https://github.com/wgwoods/fedup/issues/21
   [ Add --distro-sync mode #21 ]

There's a long thread on test@ list about broken deps during/after a dist upgrade.

That would be a very weird assumption. Normal updates for F20 and older
can have a higher EVR than packages in F21 and would be seen as "newer"
by RPM version comparison. That's a problem with Fedora's update release
process and not limited to the updates-testing repo.
