That means that the package does not match the md5sum provided in the 
sync database.   pacman -U does not know that a package comes from a 
repo and so can not check the md5sums.

However, the fact that the package installed with pacman -U tells me it 
is not "too" corrupt...  That makes me suspicious that someone uploaded 
a package with the same pkgver-pkgrel resulting in an inconsistent 
pacman database.
