It would be interesting to see if it's an actual cloud-controlled recall feature or whether it's something simpler like timed expiry of an installed but not activated update. Haven't dug into update_engine for that. Could also be in the upper updater layer, outside of update_engine.
At least on Chrome OS, update engine does have a recall feature. The server can say, "if you've downloaded and installed an update and you're waiting to boot into it, cancel it and stick with what you have"
