Here's a summary of the behavior with various priorities and installed versions:

os channel     updates channel    rpm-db channely   version in    result
priority       priority           priority          rpm-db
(3:5.8.6-15)   (3:5.8.6-22)                      

10             10                 1                 -22          -> -15
10             10                 1                 -15          -> -22
10              0                 1                 -15          nothing
10              2                 1                 -15          -> -22
10              2                 3                 -15          nothing
10              4                 3                 -15          -> -22
10              4                 4                 -15          -> -22
10              4                 4                 -15          -> -22
10              4                 5                 -15          nothing
0              10                 1                 -22          nothing
1              10                 1                 -22          nothing
2              10                 1                 -22          -> -15

The first two lines yield the cyclic behavior.

My guess: the installed version gets always gets its priority from the rpm-db
channel, instead of the higher of {rpm-db priority, source channel priority}.
