Thanks for your concern; this is standard and expected behaviour. The
security.ubuntu.com server farm is fairly small and on limited bandwidth
compared to the wider Ubuntu mirror network so our security updates are
periodically copied into the -updates pocket for wider distribution and
mirroring.

This allows the majority of people with daily checks to mostly get their
updates from the mirror network, saving bandwidth for
security.ubuntu.com and providing them with faster downloads but still
allows for people to get security updates as quickly as we publish them,
if desired.

Depending upon when your machines request package list updates from the
mirror network, and which mirrors you contact, and where in that
individual mirror's copies you land, you may get a security update via
the -updates pocket or the -security pocket.

Some additional background on this can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Repositories

Good paranoia, but this part is acting as normal. :)

Thanks
