Since today's updates, I noticed a Payloads folder in Mac HD... Anyone else got this...

I managed to hide it using the sudo chflags... But was wondering if it was a glitch in my system or whether it's an oversight on the update coding...???

Yes, I also have this Payloads folder that appeared on its own after installing the Security Update 2015-004 1.0
Never seen this folder appear in all the previous updates. What is it?

It's a temporary folder that holds EFI update files for your machine. Once the update is install and your machine is restarted, you can delete that folder.
