Every time there is an update in OSX 10.14, I am facing this issue. Software update download starts and hangs in between. After that, it never recovers. See pics:
Tried command line options as well as mentioned in other threads here but no luck:

Manual update just worked for me. Downloaded the update manually from: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2010. Mounted macOSUpdCombo10.14.6.dmg and installed the update from the package.
