Indeed so - in fact there is also a point that no-one has made here yet - 
I think:
With a daemon doing this you cannot "directly" get it to run at a specific
time of day/night.

With a cron job you certainly can control when it happens - and for those users
who have broadband connections with a prime time usage cap, then ensuring that
downloads for yum occur during the night only (when usage is uncapped is
extremely valuable.

I suppose that once this problem has been properly fixed then it will be
possible to set the repeat interval to 3600*24 and then set the daemon 
going using something like at 4am service start yum-updatesd ... 
and then it will update every night at the same time.

However it is pretty frustrating that this has not been fixed yet.
