So when packagekit tells there are new updates user can just click update without giving root pw. There is no need to install new packages without priviledges, just keep the system up to date is enough.

You'd put something like (warning: untested, salt to taste):
[User update perms]
Identity=*
Action=org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes (or auth_self)
in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/30-site.d/<foo>.pkla.
