This strikes me as a function of the distribution/repository maintainer, and not of yum. For a distro like centos, most of the 'new' packages in the repository are security/bugfix updates, and should be applied without delay. There's a difference between a bugfix/security fix package and a bleeding edge release that may or may not be stable. This idea seems to be working around breakage by breaking more things.
