yum available shows all available packages in all repositories. It indicates not only updates.

I do not know the repository PATCHUPDATEKT, but it does not look like you have an update for an installed package. Please check with yum list installed | grep -e python-deltarpm.

If you really need one of these packages, you can try to install it. But please consider In this case, the dependencies must be satisfied.
