Speak of the devil... continuing through my email:

So maybe this was a doh! release and they're already pushing out a quick fix? But ... uh... 123.0.1?

Huh?? If 123.0.1 was just released, what the heck am I doing with a 123.0.2? I'm starting to smell a package maintainer mixup, someone pushing out a beta by accident?
Luckily I still have the release notice for 123.0.2:

I may now be in a situation where dnf will not update the rpm! It usually will ignore older rpm files (by version). Ugh, there might be some manual dnf/rpm finagling coming my way.
Now I just have to wait a few hours until the latest rpm hits my mirrors...
