Here is a great example of why UNIX is case sensitive and why Linus wanted it that way. To make yum truly case insensitive would require a fully compliant case insensitive file system. Linux does not have that, nor do most UNIX variants. It is a personal argument whether or not it should and should remain that way. If you came from Windows, you ran a system that was case insensitive because of its background. Linux because it is a derived from UNIX has a case sensitivity. Fixing that will allow yum to do what is desired. Until that happens, shell scripting is your friend.
