"Pending" is the old "Partial" view.  It's been renamed.

I don't think too much.  I ran setup.exe 2.708 and setup.exe 2.697.
The same pages in each showed the same thing.  Although my list of
updates was smaller, not all the packages listed had a current field.
My list contained new dependencies for the packages being updated.
If there really are no packages listed with a "Current" version, I'd
say you're experiencing the result of setup.ini being updated with
previously missing packages for packages you have already installed.
