But of course! If installed from the livna-release package, they would
be from Nov 7th. See "rpm -qlv livna-release | grep repo"

That means, you saved it on that date. "stat livna.repo" will tell.

Which did succeed, because you did not have any livna-release
installed already. Else rpm would fail and complain.

As expected, as described above.

No, not at all. The "livna repo system" does not care about the date
of your files at all. You're chasing ghosts.
