I hadn't realised Discover was using Packagekit. If it is using
different mirrors to dnf and they indicate they have updates over and
above what dnf has applied, does that mean dnf will catch up, or are
they updates that dnf will never put on because it never sees them?
It's not that they use different mirrors. The mirror manager provides
somewhat randomized mirrors when asked, so at different times, you can
end up looking at different mirrors. And it's possible, if you check
during the syncing time, that different mirrors have different available
updates.
