yum update was ineffective?

My RHN applet indicated there were 7 updates to be installed, so as
root, I ran
yum update
It went through the paces, eventually downloading 10 packages after
several mirror changes to get the total set. It then presented me with
the command line prompt. Apparently it did not do an update, since RHN
still indicated a need to update. I ran up2date and it went through the
normal process, downloading and installing the updates. RHN applet is
now blue again.
Previously I remember that after a yum update, the RHN applet would turn
blue, and it it didn't, asking it to check for updates would satisfy it.
What happened?
