This means you wind up with a lot of downgrades, because you have packages from updates-testing installed, but now it's disabled. It's an unfortunate recurring issue, but I can't see an obvious way to resolve it. Downgrades aren't generally as tested or reliable as upgrades, so yeah, this can cause problems. The usual ways to avoid the problem are: re- enable updates-testing after the fedora-repos update that disables it (if you're fine with continuing to help test updates), or wait for the final release freeze to lift shortly before release (whereupon most of the updates that are currently stuck behind the freeze will go stable and you mostly won't get any downgrades when doing distro-sync any more). And, of course, you can just use `dnf update` or `dnf upgrade` instead of `distro-sync` while we're in this state.
