You will only see a security update in -security in the first few hours after publication; depending upon a large number of variables it might be visible in a mirror's -updates pocket within minutes or maybe a day later. This is a one-way transition -- there's no point in checking again once the package has been copied to the mirror network. You'd have to be scanning for updated packages every half hour or so to try to catch a package in only the -security pocket.

Please do not use the URL to determine if a package is a security update.

If all you want is security updates you can remove the -updates pocket from your repository configurations but be aware that a great many reliability fixes are made available only in -updates.

Thanks.
