After a kickstart install how do you get a yum update to run as the final stage of the install?

Hijack the firstboot mechanism.

a 'yum update' in the %post does not seem to do anything at all - no errors just nothing?

You shouldn't try to do anything near that complicated in a %post inside Anaconda during install.

While you may get it to work, the firstboot mechanism is design for this; I seem to remember a beta one time that asked to do an update during firstboot, but I don't remember which version; it was pre-yum (up2date was used) and it has been several years.
