The first is afaik intended, as ppc64 just like x86_64 is 
biarch/multilib arch; PPCs system will just ignore the ppc64 packages. 
It's the same in Fedora; see

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/ppc/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/ppc/os/Packages/


The latter IMHO is not intended, but likely the way the push scripts 
from Extras/EPEL work/are designed. Fedora at least ships the ppc64 rpms 
in a dedicated repo as well:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/ppc64/os/Packages/
