Disable updates-testing and run
yum list extras
to list the packages which are not found in the enable repos.
Then run
yum --showduplicates list available PKGNAME
or
yum --showduplicates list all | grep PKGNAME
to list the other package versions available in the repos. What this
option does is explained in the manual.
