Yeah, that does sound a bit like one of the reasons I dislike M$... Seriously though. The 'fix' I used to stop yum-updatesd from starting up might work for you... Try eliminating all the yum-updatesd links from /etc/rc.d/rc*.d. In my case it really stopped yum-updatesd from being initialized at all. But I'm not so sure that this fix wouldn't sometimes need to be repeated after doing a yum update...
