Remember that #PlayStore wanted to update/replace a bunch of apps installed from other sources such as #FDroid recently? Well, turns out someone found what triggers it and how it can be avoided, see github.com/jamie-mh/Authentica… for details.
Basically, the reason there was that AABs (the #Android App Bundles uploaded to Play) had a higher versionCode than the APKs distributed by the other sources. Still does not explain why Google ignored the "installer" property, though.

Unknown parent • • •@vanitasvitae might depend on the client you use. I remember in the past it suggested such updates (e.g. UnifiedNlp as update to GMS, as they had the same packageName). As my devices no longer have the G-stuff installed, I no longer see that.
I know @grote just works on a big overhaul of the official client which will even honor the repo you've installed an app from. Torsten is probably the best person to answer your question (would you please, Torsten?).
