Couple things here.
1. We don't know what you've done to yum, so there's no way to judge
if you've screwed it up or not. Not enough detail to judge.
2. You're not using the proper package name for bind, up2date is just
more braindead/forgiving about it. On RHEL/CentOS systems it's called
'named'.
3. Checking the yum documentation for 'yum search' or 'yum provides'
or 'yum list available > list' etc would have showed you the
resolution.
