This should be already possible if you use the network installation image,
you can tell Anaconda to use the updates repo and it will install newest 
versions
of all the packages during installation.

On the Live image this is not really doable/easy as we are basically just 
copying a
pre-made OS image to the target system with rsync. To update it it would be 
necessary
to basically chroot to the target system and run a system update (as you would 
generally do
yourself after the installation).

This has the downside that we would also have to make sure network connectivity 
is available
(which is not required for plain Live installation) and it would actually not 
save any time
(it would still be live install + system update) other than running the update 
automatically
by Anaconda instead of by the user after installation.

I'm thinking something like a service that would start on first boot and ask 
the user if
a system update should be done would be a better fit.
