Hi Oliver, here it's your solution:

Try this please: (as Root)

yum clean all

ENTER

yum makecache

ENTER

su -c "yum -y --skip-broken update"

ENTER

Reboot your system and turn the Update checker to "Daily" instead of "Per Hour" Some days later, when

there are updates available, you are going to get notifications.

I just tried this because I think I've been having the same problem at the

su -c "yum -y --skip-broken update"

I got this:

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install 17 Package(s)
Upgrade 431 Package(s)

Total download size: 335 M

So I seem to be seeing the updates now. Hopefully will start seeing the notification soon
