 * I have a server with several WordPress installations, two are multi-site networks,
   the rest are single site.
 * On all the sites I have automatic updates set at the default i.e. I don’t disable
   or enable anything in wp-config.php. I have noticed that a couple of the sites,
   which have low traffic, still have not updated from version 4.7.3 to 4.7.4. But
   the higher traffic sites did update themselves around 20 April when the 4.7.4
   update came out.
 * I know that automatic updates rely on the the WordPres cron system and that in
   turns relies on pages being accessed on the site. But even the low traffic sites
   have had quite a lot of page requests coming in since 20 April. So I wonder why
   they have not updated yet?

 * Is this something to do with the way that WordPress itself delivers updates? 
   Looking at the code for wp_version_check it looks like the server sends details
   about the blog like how many users it has, what PHP version it is, what MySQL
   it is… I wonder if the higher traffic sites (or those with more users) are given
   updates earlier, and the lower traffic sites are left until later?
