It's been a while since I've use the GUI, but I believe up2date will
download additional headers while resolving dependencies (I haven't looked
to see if the first run is just the headers.info).  I haven't really taken
the time to track it down, but on every machine I've used up2date with a
yum repo, it will at some point it will download every header in the repo.

Again, I suggest using strace against the process to see what is going on.
 If it is updating headers you should be able to see the http requests.
