I made three more passes doing
fedup --network 22

On the first pass, I had loaded the new-ish kernel from the GRUB-menu.

fedup gave me some errors and terminated.

On the last (3rd or 4th), I loaded the latest FC21 kernel from GRUB, then 
did fedup. It verfied all of my downloads, then told me to to reboo. When 
I rebooted, I had a "System Upgrade."

Obviously, there must be some logic that explains the first two-three 
failures, and then the final success.

Don't know what that is, though.
