[opensuse] Does zypper detect new package versions?

In my 10.1 days I got used to working with ZMD, which had more than
its share of problems, but also was able to tell me when new versions
of installed packages became available in the repositories.

I decided to drop ZMD in favor of zypper in 10.2, and either I am
doing something wrong or it can't show me new versions; I used "zypper
sa" to add basically the same repositories, but afterwards no updates
were shown, even after manually telling it to check for them. If I use
Yast Software Management I can see (and install) the newer versions
quite easily.

Does zypper only work with YOU patches, or is the feature I'm looking
for available but I'm just not doing it right?

Thanks,
Sorin
