System upgrade might change (upgrade) the architecture of a package.
OK, sounds reasonable. The reason why I'm asking is opera. opera is currently available for i586 and x86_64, but the x86_64 package contains i586 binaries. In fact, both packages' content is identical. The zypp behaviour described above means that the x86_64 package cannot be dropped for further 10.1 updates because zypp would keep the installed x86_64 package and not install updates which are available for i586 only. But it can be done for 10.2, because zypp will switch to the i586 package during the system upgrade. This would save ~6MB in inst-source-extra and even more in the update tree because opera is updated often.
