Couldn't we have the node immediately check for the revocation key
when it finds a new update and wait for the revocation key check to
return before displaying the update button?  Admittedly there would be
a tiny chance that the key could be blown in between when the
revocation was checked for and when the user actually updates the node
but it would offer a much nicer user experience.  Maybe a compromise
and have it do 3 checks before showing the button and only one after
the user clicks the update button?

Yes, but it doesn't work instantly. It has to run a final check to
determine whether the update really is genuine (the key hasn't been
blown). This involves fetching the revocation key 3 times which can take
a while.
