It influences the solver. The solver will prefer packages from repos with
higher priority (which unfortunately is a lower number in yum-speak).
Michael <mls> should be able to provide the exact details. AFAIK
higher repo priority is prefered over version and arch.

AFAIK packages will be considered in this order
a) package foo-0.9 (priority 90)
b) package foo-1.0 (priority 95)
c) package foo-1.0 (priority 99)
but architecture/vendor of any installed foo may have an influence.

No it works, and if something is wrong with it, it's missconfigured or a
solver bug :)
