I have made another test, and found (at least) 650 packages not being updated:

rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME} was installed on %{INSTALLTIME:date}\n'
| grep ' 2008 ' | wc -l
650

rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME} was installed on %{INSTALLTIME:date}\n'
| grep ' 2008 ' | head -2
sed was installed on Fri 22 Aug 2008 04:04:50 PM CEST
libXfont was installed on Fri 22 Aug 2008 04:04:51 PM CEST

In Summer 2008 we installed the machine... how to enforce the full upgrade to
SL5.5?

I also tried to update again:

yum update
