Hi Jamen.
Looks like what Uyuni thinks is installed is different to what yum does.
Normally, Uyuni will automatically check for this and update it, but it can take a little while.
You can select the machine in Uyuni (Same page as your second pic) and select Software -> Packages. Then click the ‘Update Package List’ button.
That will force Uyuni to rescan and refresh and it should update its database within several minutes.
In some cases I have found Yum to be misreporting or using an outdated cache, in which case a “yum clean all” should tidy things up before your next “yum update”. Note: I don’t think this is the case in your example as it’s refilling the cache, but may still
be worth a try.

Subject: [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Uyuni erroneously reports packages need to be updated?
Sorry all, but here’s another problem I have run into. My Uyuni interface is reporting 8 packages that need to be updated on this server, yet when I try to run the update, I get the error that there are no packages found.
So on the server itself, when I run “yum update”, I get “No packages marked for update”. So why is Uyuni reporting there are packages that need to be updated?
