I updated my machine to 1.538 this morning (using the Ubuntu package), and 
found that the Update Center had not been contacted for over a month; as a 
result, there were no plugin updates available to be installed.

I tried various things to get Jenkins to download the latest data from the 
update center (the 'Check Now' button in the Advanced tab of the Manage Plugins 
page, removing updates/default.json), but I was never able to get Jenkins to 
download the latest JSON file. I even watched with tcpdump, and saw that 
Jenkins never issued any outbound HTTP request to the Update Center.

I then downloaded the JSON file manually (using a shell on the same machine) 
and trimmed it so that Jenkins would be able to use it. I clicked 'Reload 
Configuration From Disk' and then the Manage Plugins page showed all the 
available plugin updates. It is now download plugins and installing them, which 
means it *can* contact the Update Center.

Any ideas what might have been happening here?
