I'm not convinced that is it, though something funky is sure going on.

By dist tag alone, rpm should prefer the new barman:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 1.3.3-1.f20 1.3.2-1.fc20
1.3.3-1.f20 > 1.3.2-1.fc20

and if you examine the package metadata, you'll see that %dist isn't
even preserved, it's just part of the %release tag.

# repoquery --qf '%{dist}' barman
Invalid querytag 'dist' for repo pkg: barman-1.3.3-1.f20.noarch
# repoquery --qf '%{name}' barman
barman
repoquery --qf '%{version}' barman
1.3.3
# repoquery --qf '%{release}' barman
1.f20
# repoquery barman
barman-0:1.3.3-1.f20.noarch

There's something not right, but I'm not sure the dist tag is the
explanation.

Additionally, I'm puzzled that on my Fedora 20 system I don't see a
barman in updates at all, only the PGDG

# yum --enablerepo updates list all barman
Installed Packages
barman.noarch         1.3.3-1.f20          @pgdg93

... and no, it's not found by repoquery either. I just don't have a
barman in updates here, yet it clearly exists at some level:
