According to rpmdev-vercmp :
$ rpmdev-vercmp 1.0-5.mga3 1.0beta-4.mga3
1.0-5.mga3 < 1.0beta-4.mga3

To avoid this, beta version should have been something like
1.0-0.4beta.mga3, with 1.0-1.mga3 for first stable release.

If the beta package was only available in cauldron and not part of a
stable release of mageia, we can simply remove the package from the
repository so you can submit it again. Cauldron users of the package
will have to remove and reinstall the package.
