Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
google-chrome   
rpmfusion-free-updates     
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates     
updates/20/x86_64/metalink
updates
virtualbox 
updates/20/x86_64/primary_db 

Although, this behavior is intentional and provides many benefits in order to keep your software updated, it can also however be quite frustrating if you see and have to wait for this update to finish couple times a day.
