More than likely, and I'm not sure, but I do suspect that PackageKit is
set to install certain updates before others, e.g. an update to fix an
issue with the software management system is very likely to need to be
installed separately from everything else. I know that's how it used to
be when there was an update for the package management system, you had
to install that first. So install it and try again.

Same answer as above. Install it and try again. 

Also keep in mind, I don't know what then frequency of installation of
automatic updates are, but it could be those updates were pushed after
it did it's last normal check of automatic updates.
