Hi

Only "failure" I see is 8024A000, and a search for that one doesn't
come up with anything, so I would think that it is not critical.

I start to think that your Automatic Updates might work fine.

Note that unless .Net Framework is installed on the SP2 computer, no
critical updates is relevant for SP2 so far, this could explain
why you are not offered any updates.
