I've not looked at what goes on during the upgrade process. That is
going from a previous release of Fedora to a later version of
Fedora. I suspect that the upgrade process just compares what you have
on your system with what packages are
available in the fedora.repo (which doesn't change) and doesn't look at
the fedora-updates.repo since looking in both
places and keeping track of what package should be upgraded from which
repo would be much more work. Especially in
the case of where an update of some packages may change dependencies or
pull in packages not used previously.
system-update uses all the repos you have enabled, including the updates
repo. After system-update, you should be fully up-to-date.
