forcing package downgrades

No, you don't. You have to reduce the priority of the channel providing
the *installed* packages. The default priority for a package is the
highest priority of all the channels it is available. That package is
currently in two channels: your rpm database (priority = 0, it seems),
and nrpms (priority = -1000).

Set the priority of your installed database (type = rpm-sys) to -1000
and you'll get the behavior you want.
