Ahh as long as yum-updated is running as a service regular yum update will not run! IE, you killed the yum-updatesd service and that is why yum update ran.
Oh? I run yum-updatesd as a service (by dafult, not by any specific intent), but as far as I can tell, it has never interfered with me running a yum update.
Presumably because it's doing it overnight, and is done. You cannot run yum while it's running - they both want the same locks, and both are updating the same database. Bad, and so they prevent you from doing so.
