Yes, some of them are at:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/security
and the rest seem to be at:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/?updates_tgp_no=2&updates_tgp_limit=20

These were notified on the package announcement list on 28th April
timed at 21:48 to 22:01, I can get a list if you really need it.

Yes, I usually see this with F7 but on one occasionally recently the F7
updates appeared and the equivalent F8 updates took several days to
appear.

Yes, I've noticed that. I looked at several mirrors earlier in the UK
and US and none of them had any of these updates.
