Maybe confusingly, there are two yum subpackages for PackageKit.

PackageKit-yum contains the yum backend and all the code for
packagekitd to talk to yum and pass data.
PackageKit-yum-plugin is a simple yum plugin that pokes PackageKit to
drop internal caches and reload update lists (if an application is
open) after the user has done a command wuth yum on the CLI that might
change the state, like updating a package or enabling a repo.

So, it's pretty safe to remove PackageKit-yum-plugin if you don't mind
the GUI's occasionally being out of sync with reality, but you really,
really don't want to remove PackageKit-yum.
