How do you determine the cause of a downgrade?
Today I did "emerge --sync" and "emerge -auvNDt world" with (I think)
no configuration changes since the last update a couple days ago, and
now emerge wants to downgrade xorg-server from 1.20.9 to 1.20.8-r1:

AFAICT both 1.20.9 and 1.20.8-r1 are stable on amd4 (the only
difference between the two .ebuild files are the keywords for hppa and
ppc). I can't find any ebuilds that appear to depend on the
downgraded version.

1.20.9 has temporarily been masked. It looks like you got caught in
the short window between stabilization and masking, as I did on one of
my two machines.
