No. The stable repositories (updates / dist) always have priority over
testing.

Better to explain with example I think.

Repository contents:

updates: foo-1.0.54
updates-testing: foo-1.1.1

BuildRequires: foo

uses foo-1.0.54 as that's the latest stable release, as usual.

BuildRequires: foo >= 1.1

uses foo-1.1.1 from updates-testing as that's the best match for
satisfying the requirement even if that release is not yet pushed as
stable.


If the dependency still can not be resolved when including
updates-testing then it's a failed dependency. No change suggested in
e-v-r matching criterias, only dependency resolution in which
repositories to query when.


could be implemented by using updates-testing as fallback package
repository queried only on packages which could not get resolved from
the normal enabled repositories (i.e. dist & updates)
