This is exactly the problem. Assuming that a security fix is uploaded to stable and unstable at the same time (the usuall case), testing will get that fix a *minumum* of two days later.

Are there any urgent security updates like this that don't show up in deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free immediately ?

Shouldn't be. However, the versions of the packages there will generally be lower than the versions in testing. So putting the potato security updates deb line in your sources.list is not very useful on a testing/unstable system.
