I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn't possible? What's going on here?

It can also happen with apps from the main repo. If the app is reproducible (about 5% so far, most new apps) then F-Droid will use the developer signature.
