In practice the later is much smaller problem that a requirement of an external network connection during an update. If you need a connection to LAN depends on precisely how you are running those updates. Yes, indeed, some of extra packages may break and you are fixing those later. At that time either you can access WAN, with usually much smaller demands on speed and capacity of that connection, or you need to provide those updates you require by some other means. The key is that you are not _forced_ to do that right now. Do not forget as well that while updating over a network (and assuming that yum is used or that this works like yum, which seems reasonable) you need a disk space, in specific locations, for all packages _at once_ which will be used in this update. In many situations this will be a show-stopper condition. It appears that somebody forgets that although it is nice to have abundant resources the situation is often not that perfect.
