Yes, because selinux-policy* is a low-level package not specific to Yum.
The policy affects RPM and everything on top of it.

Only during *subsequent* attempts at updating to or installing *more*
packages containing scriptlets - prior to giving +1 in the Fedora Updates
System.

A simple "yum -y update ; reboot ; Oh, everything seems to work" has not
been enough this time. And it was an update with a screen full of ticket
numbers for the included bug-fixes/changes. It could have broken something
else, too.

Btw, some other packages are in the same boat. Imagine a graphics driver
update "seems to work" for three testers that are required for a +3 vote
in the updates system, but fails badly for a hundred other users once it
appears in the stable updates repo.
