Danek just said it wasn't causing your problem; not that you should do it :)

In the future, you won't be able to use your own label for the publisher, and the correct way to do this will be to switch between selected repositories for a publisher. I thought it would be a good habit for you to get used to, and it really is the correct way to do it.

Where you can have a problem is if you install packages from a non-preferred publisher, and then remove that publisher from the system. That will prevent those packages from being automatically upgraded possibly in the future.

In short, there are subtle behaviours surrounding publisher evaluation and its best to change the origin (repository) of a publisher instead of temporarily adding and removing one.
