If I understand you correctly, if I uninstall the ftp client, yum will not use it as it cannot. Is this the case? I had assumed that the code underlying yum had its own stack for dealing withftp://... urls.
no, thats quite wrong. yum uses libcurl, which is the guts of the curl command, and curl accesses ftp:// url's without using the ftp command
configure your external gateway firewall to REJECT (not DROP) any outbound ftp, and yum will quickly move onto other protocols.
