Found the problem. It's not the back off, it's my browser (Chrome on MacOS) and my Jenkins setup. I have Jenkins setup over SSL, however the URL for the update site was http. So when I looked in the javascript console I saw that the request to check the update server was blocked because the page was loaded over https, but was requesting an insecure page over http. Once I changed the update center URL to be https, then I see updates.
