I assume the updater is based on yum, so I'd try a manual update with yum. As root in a terminal session,

#yum update

where # is root's prompt.

Fedora has not had any updates since August 12 when the servers was hacked. According to post in Fedora Forums.Org updates should be coming back on line any day now.
Hope you find this information helpful.
