CentOS - Oct 2010 - yum list updates error (Manish Kathuria)

There was no proxy in the file /etc/yum.conf. I specified the proxy setting
and now "yum list updates" is working. A part of the output was:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: centos.01link.hk
 * updates: centos.01link.hk
 * addons: centos.01link.hk
 * extras: centos.01link.hk
Updated Packages
ImageMagick.i386                     6.2.8.0-4.el5_5.2
updates
ImageMagick.x86_64                   6.2.8.0-4.el5_5.2
updates
NetworkManager.i386                  1:0.7.0-10.el5_5.1         updates

Its written Updated Packages. Does this mean it has already updated? I
thought that this command displays packages that need to be updated.

Updated Packages here means the list of the packages installed on your
system having updated versions available in the configured
repositories. The tabular listing would have the name of the package,
the latest version available in the repository and the name of that
repository.
