no, you did not and you did also not in your example below

nothing is blown away, you only did not read the output
because it was *downgraded* and *not* removed

this is *completly* different than "blown away"
this is what distro-sync *is supposed to do*
upgrade or downgrade any package which is in whatever current repo
but it *does not* blow away packages not in any repo at all
