It is not an automatic upgrade, it is a manually triggered upgrade of packages to a newer version if one is available on the selected repos (this I know), and it has a higher priority that the one currently installed (this I guess).
When you start YOU and it says "Hey, you have updates!" then it is because there are mandatory patches or updates in the repository that is known to be the update repo (only one has that property, afaik).
However, I don't know if it would be doable to click on one of the packages to be updated and see a help hint message and say why that particular package is going to be updated to that particular version. Perhaps show a list of available options and say why each one was discarded and another one chosen. Too many variables: dependencies, user choices... I think all that info is in the solvercase file, though.

Showing _what_ will be installed is not the same as _why_ it will be
installed which is what a change list would show. This I believe is more
inline with what the OP was looking for.
The 'why' is simple enough: the user requested upgrade to newer version
if available on any of the configured repositories with their configured
priorities.
No. The user saw upgrades _were_ available (when checking) and wanted to
know why the upgrades were available.
I also at times see that and would like to see what generated the need for
an upgrade I.E. change list.
But then that is how I view the request.
Eummmm... no, I think you or I or both are confused. I think the OP user told YaST to upgrade all available.
