Experienceing a Delay When Updating RPMs from Redhat Satellite Sever

Latest response

I've noticed this over the last few days that if I try to apply errata from the Red Hat Satellite, it is not instant. Matter of fact I just install three rpms starting around 7:00 am CST and they show successfully installed around 10:15 am CST.

However if I hit the logs on the server under /var/log , it still shows rpms that I installed manually and not the ones that were installed from the server, from last week:

[root@ameda4aisrx0236 log]# tail -25 yum.log
May 29 09:59:47 Installed: openscap-1.0.8-1.el5_10.x86_64
May 29 09:59:47 Installed: openscap-utils-1.0.8-1.el5_10.x86_64
May 29 09:59:49 Installed: spacewalk-oscap-2.3.0-2.el5sat.noarch
[root@ameda4aisrx0236 log]#

I just installed the following rpms from the Satellite:

tzdata-2014b-1.el5 x86_64 6/2/15 10:01:39 AM CDT
ksh-20100621-18.el5_10.1 x86_64 6/2/15 10:01:49 AM CDT

From the server itself:

[root@ameda4aisrx0236 log]# rpm -qa | grep ksh
ksh-20100621-18.el5_10.1
[root@ameda4aisrx0236 log]# rpm -qa | grep tzdata
tzdata-2014b-1.el5
[root@ameda4aisrx0236 log]#

Here yum shows that the available package is a more up-to-date Vs what rpm -qa showed.

Am I approaching this the correct way?
