I have no excludes in yum.conf. But I noticed something odd in the CentOS-Base.repo file. The [updates] section didn't have an explicit 'enabled=1' in it. Though, when I added it in, it made no difference. I have noticed that I do have some updated packages (like httpd) that are from February and appear to be the most recent based on the mirrors, but every mirror I hit I see no updated packages listed for this month. Maybe there's just not been any and I'm overreacting.
But to give an example, we run several Ubuntu 14.04 LTS virtual machines and I've have a dozen or so security related updates that I've not seen for CentOS, like openssl (which I do have installed on it) and gnutls. I know package names don't always match up, but these are recent known vulnerabilities and I don't like the feeling I'm not securing my systems properly.
Does that makes sense?

run 'yum update'. I have run 'yum clean all' to see if that might be a problem, and I've made sure the updates repo is enabled (it is), but I'm getting no CentOS updates.
Did something change that I'm not aware of? I'm even clueless how to being debugging this. I'm no noob to RPM based systems as I run Fedora

much everywhere else.
Ideas?
There's been a bunch. Two ideas: first, are the repos enabled (check in /etc/yum.repos.d, and make sure enabled=1, and second, do you have any excludes (and wildcards count) in /etc/yum.conf?
