Question: when did you perform your last emerge sync?
2 days ago.

Hmm... Is the reason for the upgrade/downgrade because there's no more
2.5.7-r2 in the ebuilds??

Yes. Current stable version is 2.5.7-r5, and 2.5.7-r2 does not exist in 
the main Portage tree any more (though you can get it from the attic).

So, since Portage does not know about this ebuild any more, you have to 
either upgrade or downgrade.

Since you don't want to upgrade to 2.5.7-r5, then you have no choice but 
to downgrade to 2.5.6-r3. Alternatively, you could mask (without quotes, 
natch)

>=www-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r5
to leave your current, unsupported, version as it is.
HTH,
