This only applies to security updates, you won't come in and find a whole new system. SuSE patches security flaws in the older packages so that nothing is changed (dependencies) other than the security flaws are fixed.
I've found it much more reliable than uptodate, and cheaper too.
It also doesn't send information about your system (hardware, installed rpm list) back to the vendor, associated with your personal information (remember signing up for RHN on the first run of up2date?) to a closed-source server. SuSE actually respects your privacy.
