But what's better in the follwing case:

foo-1.2.3-4.fc6       -> foo-1.2.3-5.fc6 (security fix in updates)
foo-1.2.3-4.fc7 (iso) -> foo-1.2.3-5.fc7 (security fix in updates)

An updated FC6 will carry foo-1.2.3-5.fc6 and the ISO will not offer
foo-1.2.3-4.fc7 unless it is forced by anaconda (like kernels). That's
a feature not a bug, as otherwise you would suddenly introduce an
already fixed security issue.

So in fact the non-upgrading from FC6-updates to F7-noupdates is good!
