I don’t have YaST → Software → Online Updates. All I have under
“Software” is “Software management”, “Add-on products”, “Media check”
and “Software repositories”.

How did that happen? Seems your YaST is missing some of its standard
parts!!
TRY this: select “Software Management”, search on yast and click
to place a check mark (to install) these two:
yast2-online-update-frontend
yast2-online-update
It may then pop up a list of other items it needs to add to satisfy
dependencies–accept them.
If you are lucky, the next time you start YaST it will have all the
parts it was born with. (If you are unlucky: find someone with a
better suggestion to try.)

I had a similar problem with KDE 4.1.3. I found if I right clicked the updater icon I found an option to register it, then the updater started working, the register option is gone now. I download the repositories for oss, non-oss and update. which were already on my system. But it then started working. ON-line update under YaST2 has always worked.
