Generally not.  It just means that you won't get any updates on
packages that only exist in that repo.  However there is some chance
that a same-named package will appear with a higher version number in
a different, enabled repo - and if it doesn't have the same origin
there is some chance of it being incompatible in some way.   This is
more likely to result in a single broken app than yum conflicts,
though.
