localinstall:
Is used to install a set of local rpm files. If required the enabled
repositories will be used to resolve dependencies.
localupdate:
Is used to update the system by specifying local rpm files. Only the
specified rpm files of which an older version is already installed will
be installed, the remaining specified packages will be ignored. If
required the enabled repositories will be used to resolve dependencies.
SO ... yep, that is exactly how it works.
