And is it configures as a Windows Update Services Server?

If it is it's attempting to allow WUSS to hand out the required Updates I think you'll find. ;)

If you used the Standard Update where you selected Custom Install over the Microsoft Update Service you would be getting the Install Files. If you went tot he M$ Download Center and downloaded the Individual KB Files you would have got the install Files.

I'm just at a loss as to how you got the CAB Files as MBSA doesn't download updates it just tells you what is required.
