[wplug] A silly question about yum(8)

This is just bugging me...

Sometimes when I run "yum update", and it shows me the list of packages 
it's planning to update, some of the package names are listed in bold 
type.  I'm not sure what this means.  The man page seems to say that 
this indicates a package that is installed that is older than the latest 
available version - but if I'm doing "yum update", then all of the 
packages it's going to update are older than the latest available 
version, that's why it's updating them....

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
--Pat.
