The first one is special because of this :
  17 # If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
  18 SyncFirst   = pacman

Packages in syncfirst are checked before the actual upgrade, so this
includes pacman. And at this moment, the first warning is made.
Then for the full system upgrade, all your locally installed packages
are checked, so that includes pacman again.

Of course the code for checking the locally installed version against
the repository version is always the same, it is just called twice for
packages in SyncFirst, so eventual warnings are displayed twice.
