yum-security requires the remote repositories to support it - the CentOS 
hosted ones do NOT. The plugin is left in the distro so other people who 
run private repo's might be able to do something for themselves. There 
is some work being done to get the centos repo's supporting 
yum-security, but were not there yet.

But if you have tried the plugni, you already know this.
