Presumably it's not getting there.
Can you run tcpdump on the path twixt up2date box and Red Hat's site and see 
what the traffic is?

On my LAN my squid proxy is on 9.4 but 9.1 or even 7.253 are on the path out 
and see traffic 9.4 doesn't so in my case those would be on the path whether 
the proxy's used or not.

A good alternative to tcpdump in your case is strace.

strace -f -q -o poxy-trace <more options> -e trace=<stuff> up2date etc
