On the other hand, if you tell yum "--disable-repo=updates", the updates repository

Excellent factoid Roberto!
In fact that paragraph should go quoted verbatim to the yum man page, if man pages were actually manual (documentation) pages instead of pages long description of switches/options rarely with any useful real-world usage case examples... ;)
The best documentation, imho was the one provided with Digital Research DR-DOS 6.0 and the /? switch used with every command...
