Yum reports that there are 121 updates needed but apper reports that

It looks from bug 1189602 that apper and some other similar apps are
completely broken. If so, this should be a top priority for getting
fixed. In the meanwhile users should run yum frequently either via
yumex or from the console.
This is my own but:

Here is where we are:
The trouble lies with PackageKit, the CLI command behind Apper. The
command "pkcon" is assuming an indefinite cache age. In short it is not
even checking its cache.
I have been working around this by executing:
# pkcon refresh force
every morning at startup. (Of course, $sudo pkcon refresh force is the
new way to execute admin-level commands.)
Rumors began to fly that maybe the problem got fixed somewhere along the
way, by accident. This is not true. This morning I waited twenty-four
hours since the last refresh and didn't get an update notice. I ran the
force-refresh command, and got a notice of the push of the latest
version of the kernel.
Once I run that command, I get notices of updates available. I then
excuse this by GUI methods, as I always did.
They're working on it, all right. They know now the PackageKit system is
assuming an indefinite or infinite cache age by default. They're trying
to get that default changed to 86400 second (which is to say,
twenty-four hours). I don't know what's holding things up. As many of
you as think you have any special pull, can go to that bug, add
yourselves to the CC list, and put in your tuppence, deux centimes, zwei
pfennigen, whatever.
