Depends on the contents of the rpm. If there is some "shared"
file like an /etc/whatever.conf that claims to be "owned" by
both whatever.i386.rpm and whatever.x86_64.rpm you won't be
able to update just one, yum will require the same version
of each.

On the other hand, if the rpm doesn't contain anything except
some /usr/lib64/whatever.so file, then you can update that
independently.

This is all from observation, mind you, there is absolutely
no documentation anywhere in the universe that actually
describes how this multi-arch stuff actually works.
