Unfortunately, in my experience, upgrading Arch rarely goes unpunished. As you’re syncing your whole system with whatever is the lastest (and only the latest) version on the mirror - if something is broken, it is broken. If the mirror is not fully synced and you’re updating then, you may end up upgrading your system to an inconsistent state (one issue I had is that the libc version was incompatible with the libarchive version - consequently breaking pacman).
