That is not an installer bug. If you have a network connection and have
defined repos the installer updates the rpms during the install process.
So after the install completes your system is completely updated, so
running :yum updates
returns no rpms to update. Without the repos and the network connection
you get only the rpms on the original DVD.

I am not sure what happened in your case but I ignored the early request
for a network connection and the installation continued.

Did you use the: "Install a new system or upgrade an existing system"
option?
