[opensuse] Software updater applet vs Install software in YaST

I've come across something a little odd between the Software updater
applet and the YaST Install Software app. (openSUSE 11.0)

As far as I can tell, they should both be using the exact same
repositories.. right? Well, the Updater applet tells me that I have a
few dozen apps that can be updated to a newer version (Upgrades tab).
If I look in Install Software, everything is up to date. If I use the
Updater applet to upgrade the apps it says are upgradeable, it goes
off and does as it's told. Then if I look in the Install Software
app, ALL of the upgraded apps show as red indicating I'm using a newer
version than is available in the repositories.

So.. what's up? How do I resync things... or more importantly, how is
it that they are out of sync since.. I assume... they use the same
repos and the same RPM database, and the same backend for managing and
installing updates....
