pacman -Syuu want to downgrade zfs-dkms from version 2.2 to 2.1

pacman -Sy --noconfirm base-devel gdisk dosfstools archzfs-dkms
This installs zfs-dkms vs 2.2
But pacman -Syuu wants to downgrade this to  vs 2.1 of the packages zfs-dkms-2.1  zfs-utils-2.1. Which don't work with the kernel.
This downgrade is very annoying ?
Can this be prevented for these packages to downgrade ?
And why two versions ?

Now i have to do :
sudo pacman -Syuu
sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm base-devel gdisk dosfstools archzfs-dkms
In order for zfs to work.

If you issue the downgrade command, do not be annoyed a downgrade is performed, you issued the downgrade.
RTFM.

The problem is that 100 of upgrades and 2 downgrades happens in one go when i issue " pacman -Syuu".
I can only choose one "yes". So the problem remains how do i don't downgrade and only use the latest versions of zfs-dkms.
When i don't issue "pacman -Syuu" i don't have upgrades.
And when i issue it i have upgrades of all packages but zfs-dkms gets downgraded.
- Do the two different zfs-dkms versions belong to different repositories ?
- Why two versions ?
- Why the downgrade ?
- Why does "pacman -Sy --noconfirm base-devel gdisk dosfstools archzfs-dkms" re-upgrade again the downgrade.
