Thanks for the report. I've had a look. I've changed the system so it doesn't try to be smart about not updating feeds for packages that do not have issues. 
This means all package feeds will be updated daily, whether there is an issue or not. Not sure if this will be annoying to feed users; we can revisit it if it's an issue. 

Thanks,
Dan
