Not sure if this is the exact problem you have, but it sounds like the ‘save_post’ hook is going recursive.
What you need to do is unhook, do your updates, then rehook.
{
remove_action('save_post', array( $this, 'pushfeed_save_post_meta' ));
// Do update work...
add_action('save_post', array( $this, 'pushfeed_save_post_meta' ));
}
