You may just be encountering "phased updates" for the first time in this version: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/08/phased-updates-to-start-rolling-out-for-ubuntu-13-04
It takes 2.5 days for a new phased update to roll out to all users. Apt-get bypasses the delays and gets everything that can be updated.

First off, I'd like to apologize for silently joining the list a few weeks back. So hello, you'll mainly find me on the forums :) I've added a few things to the forums thread, and linked the bug report here https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main I've also added "trusty" to the title. Now I'm not that familiar with update-manager (software-updater) and not sure where to look at to troubleshoot and add useful information. To me, the biggest issue is the discrepancy between apt-get upgrade and software updater. Would anyone know ? Have a good day !
