AFAIK not because dup does perform vendor changes, i.e. would e.g. install a KDE package from a KDE repo although you had the official KDE packages from oss installed before. So dup installs the newest version available, no matter from which repo. In YaST "update if newer version available" does not perform these vendor changes, i.e. it disregards all packages from repos that you have not switched to explicitely as "system repos". It performs a zypper up. You can switch reops in YaST by clicking on the link on the top of the package-list which states something like "switch these packages to system packages" in order to get the vendor change.
