That was a bug in rpmdrake.
If you had updated the repos with backports media enabled, when the backports media was
subsequently disabled, the previously available backports packages remained displayed/installable.
But new backports were not added if the repos were updated with backports disabled. There was
the same problem for other media (like non-free).
Otherwise enabling/disabling backports (or any other media) wouldn't make any sense.
