Fedora will pick random mirrors to reduce the load on Red Hat's 
servers.  If the mirror it picks hasn't updated yet, then up2date -l 
will report no updates even if some are available.  Since RHN is hosted 
entirely by Red Hat, I don't think that's what's causing the delays that 
I'm seeing.

I should clarify regarding my original question - up2date -l lists the 
updates, but the web interface to RHN does not report that any updates 
are available, and I'd like to be able to use the web interface to 
schedule a batch update instead of using the command line.
