these two are static repository. Usually they don't change after the 
initial release. Very rarely there is an update if the basic install 
break too much

refreshed)

duplicate

updates are only for bugsfixes, there is no version update (and there 
is little need for them)

the full update should be done through YaST online Update (YOU)

non, you will never have such thing. It could cost many dependecies 
changes, and possibly new bugs.

If you want always the very last application you can switch any eight 
mont for the new openSUSE release (now 10.3) - but it's not always a 
good idea and not always so easy

may you should considere adding packman to your repositories (wee the 
wiki)

10.3 have a YaST module to add community repositories, but 10.2 haven't
