I just noticed this as well. Bug search brought me to this one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63928

Where I commented on a possible solution. 

It's an older bug report about microcode being split into multiple cpu
paths in /dev/cpu/$i/microcode and might explain this particular problem. 

The only part I'm not sure I get is how in bug 63928, a new
microcode_ctl package is mentioned and in fact, is out, but that the
same init.d files are in initscripts, which would overwrite them
(unless I've missed something that is occuring in rawhide, which is
absolultely likely ;) )  Seems as if the microcode files should be in
one package or the other.

This is not limited to x86 architectures.  I see the same on x86_64.
