check_snmp checks ranges. It has no concept of increasing or decreasing
since it has no idea what the previous value was.

>From check_snmp --help --

- Ranges are inclusive and are indicated with colons. When specified as
  'min:max' a STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the
indicated range or is equal to the upper or lower bound. A non-OK state
will be returned if the result is outside the specified range.
- If specified in the order 'max:min' a non-OK state will be returned if
the
  result is within the (inclusive) range.

Sooo.. you can see that your warning will be a range from 15 to 11 and
critical will be a range from 10 to 0.
