Clarification: If the priorities plugin for yum would be installed by
default or as an dependency of the 3rd party repo-release-packages it
would be easier to tell the users to use this plugin. 

In fact it's nearly impossible for 3rd party repo maintainers to keep
there repo compatible to more than one other 3rd party repo. 
So it's the users job to prevent their installed 3rd party repo to
replace other 3rd party repo packages.
