IMHO, it should.

Desired behaviour:
o yum install foo
  for all arch in archs: if foo.arch already installed, upgrade foo.arch
  if foo.bestarch not installed: Install foo.bestarch

  I.e. default to only native packages, but upgrade compatibility
  packages is such had been installed.
o yum remove foo
  Unconditionally remove all foo.arch (like it is now)

In order to remove only for a specific arch, use yum remove
foo.arch. In order to install for all archs use yum --comparchtoo
install foo. comparchtoo could be a switch in yum.config.
