As was answered in the thread, running
rm /var/run/yum.pid
as root will get rid of the file that is locking the process up from 
proceeding. I still had trouble with pup taking a long time to do 
anything. I canceled pup and decided to run
yum -y update again in the terminal. Yum proceeded successfully to 
install the updates.
I don;t know if there is something in the GUI update programs that is 
causing problems since my last two update runs were from yum in a 
terminal. Both updates were applied normally.
I had my computer up for three days sharing the torrent but yum-updatesd 
i stopped from services. It is enabled for the next boot.

Out of curiosity, I ran pup again and it came back showing no updates. 
Pup did not hang for me when run just a few moments ago.

Sorry for the confusing nature my response has.
