Referring to the comments from october 16th on the ck kernel package page [0] and the config of said package [1], your version of the ck kernel has not yet been configured to do early microcode updates. But this should follow be fixed soon as the v20140913 microcode package hit [extra] today. Try to boot the stock kernel and you should see 'updated early' lines in your logs.
