Otherwise, you could be signed up to the redhat-watch-list which tells you of security patches etc. when they are released, or you may have configured something on the web site http://rhn.redhat.com/ to notify you of changes. Also there is the rhn-applet, which is the blue tick/red exclamation mark at the bottom right hand corner of the default desktop, which can be removed as any other applet, though I don't remember whether it stays gone when gnome is restarted.
