Play can only download one file at a time (Google's rules - probably so the server doesn't melt). Any time you have 2 or 3 (or more) apps updating, one will be updating and the rest will be pending - until the last one starts downloading. Nothing to get worried about. Remember, with more than 2 billion - yes, that's with a b - that's more than 1;4 of the world's population - Android phones in use, even with servers scattered all over the world, when a popular app or game update gets released, that's more than just a whole lot of downloads. Make it 5 or 6 getting updated at once and the building that the power plant that feeds the server farm is located in could melt down (figuratively, of course - but still, it's not good for a server to try to download a few million files at once. That's why Android updates are staged.)
