That's because you're using YUP, and not YaST's Online Update. There was a change made to YUP that changed which directories things got put into by default. So, it will re-download everything the first time you run it. (Since YUP is part of the SDK, and hence not supported, per se, there wasn't a whole lot of information about this change disseminated.) I ran into this myself, so I stopped YUP, moved the contents of the old directories into the new ones, and restarted it. You'll still see a bunch of stuff getting download, since there will be two new channels available: SLES10-SP1-Online which contains all the patches needed to bring a system up to SP1 via Online Update SLES10-SP1-Updates which contains all the patches issued after SP1. When SP2 comes out, I suspect you'll see two more channels added.
