When you're attached to other projects as well, this is because you still have enough work from those projects to keep your CPU busy. BOINC works on a debt basis, where it will try to give all projects equal CPU time. When a project has run into enough debt, it won't download new work, to give other projects a chance to catch up.
When I request an update, it sends the message that I'm not requesting new work WHEN I AM!
Actually, you may THINK you are requesting more work but if you have set your preferences (or more likely neglected to change defaults) in a fashion that DOESN'T ALLOW Boinc to get more work then you shouldn't be blaming Boinc for that.
Jord has mentioned that Boinc schedules work for the various projects according to a debt system. There needs to be a small correction to what he mentioned. Boinc doesn't necessarily give all projects equal time. It allocates CPU time according to the resource shares you have selected for all projects.
The question you are asking comes up many times and you would probably be able to work out the answer for yourself from all the previous answers that have been given. For instance there is an adjacent thread to this one that has been active today and yesterday with virtually the same thread title as the one you have chosen. Why not have a read of that thread and see if it answers your question? If it doesn't fully satisfy you, why not post supplementary questions there so that we can build up all the relevant information in one place?

Just leave it be, it'll download work eventually.
