Well what you're asking for is possible.

Only by pulling a repo database from the date you installed it on and checking that. Your command will only tell you what repo a package is in *now*, not where it was when it was installed.

I wonder why Pacman doesn't store this information - it's really not much data, and in my opinion it's a useful information to have in the database. So why did the devs decide not to store that information?

Because I don't want to.
