Below is from my OpenSUSE command line. I only installed the first package, but both say, "Installed: Yes". Why is this?

The machine I am writing from is openSUSE 13.2, but I install Postgres from source, so I have not actually used the repo versions. That being said, what I see is they are coming from different repos, the first from openSUSE-13.2-Oss and the second from openSUSE-13.2-Update. Also look at the installed sizes for the first 83 B and 3.9 MiB for the second. I would say the first is just the placeholder package and the second is the package that represents the most recent version of that placeholder.
