This is what install media? DVD.iso, netinst.iso, live desktop iso? What is Installation Source set to when this happens? By default it's set to Local Media for DVD and live desktop. And by default in Installation Source the option "Don't install the latest available software updates" is checked. I've done numerous no network installs while QA'ing F20 and have never once encountered what you're reporting.
