Why does yum give different results at different locations?

I have noticed this from time to time but never thought to ask until now. Sometimes when I invoke YUM update from my office, I will get a bunch of updates. An hour later, when I get home I will attempt the same thing on my laptop and it just comes back with "No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion". For example, this is a run from my laptop:

[root at localhost ~]# yum clean all
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cleaning up Everything
[root at localhost ~]# yum update -y
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process

All the machines are running FC7 test 3. The machines at the office all downloaded a bunch of updates this afternoon, one of which was kernel.i686 2.6.20-1.3053.fc7. At the house, it has not pulled anything down since April 6 when it got kernel.i686.2.6.20-1.3045.fc7.

Just curious...any clues?
