I just remembered what the problem was with FC6+updates. With FC6, the content from the extra repos gets installed after the content from the CD/DVD/NFS base repo. Since your updates would replace the packages from these repos, you get into nasty install problems where you need something from one of these repos before the next thing from your base repo.
Okay, between my own experimentation, and Jeremy Katz's answers when I probed him on the subject, I take it to mean that what you're saying is true for CD/DVD/NFS-ISO installs. NFS (non-ISO) does, from what I can thus-far tell, allow you to install Updates amongst Core. I imagine this is true of HTTP and FTP installs, as well, but I haven't verified this (just NFS install with HTTP updates). So it works (with some install types), but it doesn't work (for others). At least now we know.
