Hi,

some packages like firefox, nodejs... have set

SLOT="0/$(ver_cut 1)"

in ebuild. eix-update will list them as

[U]   == www-client/firefox (84.0.2(0/84)@01/13/2021; (~)84.0.2(0/84) -> (~)85.0_rc1(0/(ver_cut 1))[1]): Firefox Web Browser
                                                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^

Works as intended. You have to generate metadata. See section SPEEDUP in the manpage.
