I didn't realize you had asked me a question. I see that wibble already answered your question.
Discover should use packagekit to upgrade the system or install software. If there is a problem, it is with packagekit.
When you ran "sudo pacman -Syu", you should have been prompted for a password. Do you wonder why you are not prompted for the password when you do the same thing with Discover? packagekit does the job here. You may have already solved the problem and are no longer interested, but your question may be answered if you look into the difference between what sudo allows you to do and what packagekit allows you to do.
