It is indeed a symlink ... and it will indeed be shifted.

People also really should use rsync with the -H option for hardlinks as
that will save much space between releases as well.  (Almost all the
items in the 'cr' repo, 'os' repo, and 'fasttrack' repo from the
7.0.1406 tree will make up the new os repo in the newer 7.1.1503 tree.)

If you are not using -H, you have to download each RPM more than once.
