BGP MED Question

I am working on task IEWB Lab 1 Task 4.3 and have a question. There is
a prefix that is originated in AS 200. There are 2 EBGP peering
sessions with AS 100. The goal is to have traffic from AS 100 destined
to AS 200 to prefer a specific path (i.e. where we are advertising the
lower MED). I am questioning what I should see when I issue sh ip bgp.

 
In the table for R3 I see both paths and both MED values. However in
all other routers in AS 100 I only see 1 path with the MED???
 
 
SW2 (AS200) ---> R5 (AS100) -- Med Set to 100 for specific prefix
(150.1.11.0)
R2 (AS200) ---> R3 (AS100) - Med Set to 200 for specific prefix
(150.1.11.0)
 
The output is similar to R5 in other routers in AS100. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
