I *think* what the OP is stating, is that he see's the email about
updates, but doesn't seem to be able to download them soon after.

And to answer, that depends on if your using a mirror or directly from
Fedora's servers themselves.  But they have to be built first (or are
they built *then* the email is sent?) and then time to get out to the
mirrors.  Maybe someone in the know can give a quick explanation on how
that all lays out and answer your question better.
