Sounds like it is working as designed:

       --installall
              Used in combo with --channel to  install  all  the
              packages from a given channel.

man up2date is your friend.

       -u, --update
              Completely update the system.  All relevant  pack-
              ages  will  be downloaded (and possibly installed,
              if you have configured Update Agent to do so).
