it is an egg and chicken... as the engine-setup comes from ovirt-engine-setup, it cannot update the package while running and effect running process.

so if you run the engine-setup of V1, and within the package is updated to V2, V2 has no effect as V1 keeps running.

there may be a very complex solutions for this issue, including delegate the state to another instance of setup, but for now, the simplest method is to update the setup packages before upgrading the product.
