This is with gnome-shell active and logged into? This is probably spawned by 
pk-offline-update. You can read more about this here:
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/11/18/offline-updates-in-fedora-20/

And to disable it

systemctl disable packagekit-offline-update.service
systemctl stop packagekit-offline-update.service

Of course, you're now going to need to get updates manually some other way
