apt selects which mirror/repo to download from based on their position
in sources.list.  If two mirrors contain the identical file, the first
one will be picked, even if it's not actually the one that would win
according to apt-cache policy.  This is by design (based on the idea
that you'll place closer/faster mirrors first), but I can see how it's
disconcerting in this case.

(We take advantage of this same feature in our default sources.list by
always placing -updates before security, so people only fall back to the
security mirror if their local updates is lagging behind).
