Actually, I unplugged the ethernet when yum started to rebuild delta. I
don't think it could be the downloading progress since the first warning
message shows that the update/installation had already begun.

You stated you looked at the output of yum history.
Yum history shows the download progress. That is
what you are seeing.
Why don;t wait a week or 3 before you run yum update.
When you do run update, you will see many packages that
need updates.
Do that in a gnome-terminal. You do not have to go to the
console tty's.
You will see the download progress as I described it.
