 Because the packages app (which was written a number of years ago) has
 issues from time to time where it gets stuck. ;( 

 It's slated to get a pretty big overhall and set of bugfixes in the
 next few months, but until then it can be out of date at times. ;(  
Whoops. I was reading too fast. I thought you meant: 

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/

The reason pkgdb doesn't show a docker-selinux package is because there
isn't one. Its not it's own package, it's a subpackage of the
'docker'
package. pkgdb deals with src packages. 

So, look instead at packages (with the caveat that it might be a bit
out of date these days): 

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/docker-selinux

you can see there it's a subpackage of the docker source package. 

Hope that helps...
