Yes, I've noticed that. I looked at several mirrors earlier in the UK
and US and none of them had any of these updates.

Then it's unlikely that the packages made it out of bodhi and to the
master mirror for all the other mirrors to pick up.

How does one get that fixed? I've seen at least 5 occasions where
updates notified have taken 3, 4 or more days to appear when running a
yum update.

Just to throw my hat in on this one, sometimes this can be expedited by issuing a 'yum clean all', followed by 'yum update'. In this way, you force yum to retrieve (hopefully) newer header/info files with more recent updates.
