I have not had a situation where an update was performed and immediately followed by a need for another update. I do my updates with "dnf --refresh update".
The only thing I've seen is when packageKit is telling me there are updates but when dnf runs it says no updates are available. I attribute that to packageKit using different mirrors than dnf.
I hadn't realised Discover was using Packagekit. If it is using different mirrors to dnf and they indicate they have updates over and above what dnf has applied, does that mean dnf will catch up, or are they updates that dnf will never put on because it never sees them?
It's not that they use different mirrors. The mirror manager provides somewhat randomized mirrors when asked, so at different times, you can end up looking at different mirrors. And it's possible, if you check during the syncing time, that different mirrors have different available updates.
