Yeah, I'm not sure if putting the test packages into a separate repo

(Instead, perhaps it is possible to tell the solver that certain
repositories are disfavoured)
At least for zypper, which is based on the same library:
You can give each repo a priority and it will pick the package from the
one with the highest priority, even if another repo has a higher
version.
Yes, that works.
It seems that, when test versions are enabled, a test version is
preferred over a non-test version with a higher version
I guess this is a consequence of:
void
SolverPool::use_test_packages(bool use_test_packages)
{
// Give repos containing test packages higher priority than normal
// if wanted, otherwise lower priority.
SolvRepo::priority_t p = use_test_packages ? SolvRepo::priorityHigh
: SolvRepo::priorityLow;
I wonder if we just want to give test repos priorityNormal when they are
wanted?
Yes, that sounds right to me.
