I would say that you lose.  I guess that there would need to be another
interactive function called `gnus-summary-forget-update-info' that you
could call if, after having called `gnus-summary-update-info' some
number of times, you realize that you haven't been paying attention, and
you want to start over reading from scratch (without having to `Q' and
re-enter the group).

I am sorry about that last sentence, but I had two large Diet Cokes with
lunch.
