I had something very similar happen not long ago. After removing /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db and doing a 'rug refresh' I had only two updates available, *both were the same*, something like Suse_10.1_dvd_x86_64 I don't remember exactly, but there was "dvd" and "64" in there and I don't even have a 64 bit system :-( It eventually just went away, and one day, a few days later, I had regular updates again. I did not remove and reinstall the installation sources, and I did not run YAST online-update either in that period of time, although they might have been useful approaches. I don't recall, but I may have rebooted in that time, but not immediately before it started working. One thing you might want to try is to drop to runlevel 1 and then back to 5 (or rebooting for a more drastic step). This seems to sometimes help ZEN/ZMD along when merely stopping/restarting ZMD doesn't quite do it.
