I would agree with your assessment but perhaps you can remove/reinstall sqlite but the thing that I don't understand is you said there was no output from rpm -Va which should mean that the sqlite installed verified correctly so there's no reason to be optimistic that removing/reinstalling sqlite will have any positive impact.
Also note - you can file a bug against yum but I suspect that it will go nowhere because there are so many installations that haven't had this issue and yet you suggested that you have multiple systems exhibiting this same problem which suggests that there's something in the methodologies you employ.
