It depends on what you were looking at.  At first, yum displays all new
packages that aren't in your database.  Since this is a new install,
your database is empty so you'll see all the updates that are
available.  Don't freak out over that.

Later, it goes through your machine and eventually will display a table
with the word "Updating:".  THOSE are what's going to be updated, not
the first set of packages you saw.  That was just yum updating its
database.  yum can be chatty!
