Looks like this is the source of your problem. When dealing with
blocking downgrades I like to search for the "<" character to find what
other package is limiting the highest version. The above is the only one.

The DEPEND for lvm2 looks like this:

RDEPEND="${DEPEND_COMMON}
	...
        >=sys-apps/util-linux-2.16
	...
DEPEND="${DEPEND_COMMON}
        static? (
                selinux? ( sys-libs/libselinux[static-libs] )
                udev? ( >=virtual/libudev-208:=[static-libs] )
                <sys-apps/util-linux-2.25[static-libs]
        )"


Do you have lvm2 built with USE=static?



Second question is why will portage not upgrade lvm2 for you? What do
you get from this:

emerge -pv lvm2
