Ok, understand that. So an update of yum has to be left until the
very last moment just before other things that require
it.
So maybe change the first line to:
if found package that requires new yum or rpm and updated yum
or updated rpm is available:
That way yum wouldn't update yum/rpm unless something actually
required the updated yum/rpm.
My interest was just to make the process as simple as possible.
Here's my other hang up with it.
If the user issued:
yum install zsh
Does it seem right to check for a yum update and/or rpm updates before
doing what the user asked?
I think we'd be better served with making this better via
dependencies. If you cannot use your current rpm to install the pkgs
updates that are available it should fail long before the transaction.
imo.

That is what the first 'if' should do. Act as a filter. So only if
'zsh' had a dependency on a new yum or rpm would it go check for a new
yum/rpm. Otherwise it would just do the zsh update.
My perspective is from the user point of view. If the user is
upgrading to a new release let's say and the process goes along for
quite a while and then decides to bomb out because the rpm version
needed to be newer then the user becomes confused. The software should
take care of this. So if any package in the whole update requires a
newer yum/rpm then I think yum should go do that first.
