Probably not (there's always the slightest chance).
A 'sandbox' is created during the process, which is used to build the binary
rpms and actually do the upgrade in a 'test' environment. During this
activity, your toaster remains fully functional. Anything that typically
goes badly will happen in the sandbox, and your operational toaster will not
be affected.
Only after all the updates have been applied successfully in the sandbox are
you given the opportunity to upgrade your live toaster. At the appropriate
time, you will be notified that the toaster will be stopped and you will
have the option to bail out. Up until this point, nothing will have changed
in your operational toaster. If you elect to proceed with the upgrade at
this point, the toaster is automatically stopped, the updates are applied,
and the toaster is automatically restarted. The downtime will vary depending
on your hardware and packages being upgraded, but typically takes just a
few (2-5) minutes. If a message is attempted to be delivered to your toaster
during this brief down time, the sending toaster should recognize that
delivery was not possible and retry the delivery after some (relatively
short) period of time.
