Sure, but my question is why does fedup not take care of this downgrade and replace with the F21 packages?
Because "fedup" is not meant to be "distro-sync".
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.

Yes, there is a discussion about that....    Can't say that I'm bothered by that.....
You should be - Why? In case something in rpm changes, packages from different fedora releases will be incompatible and broken to different extends, independently of their NEVRs.

This situation is quite realistic - We've had this kind of changes several times before. It's just that this has not happened in recent past, which probably is the reason why people have forgotten about it.
