It's simply wrong. No reinstalls are needed, the installer can do upgrades or
you can even just upgrade with yum or apt-rpm (not recommended, but that
doesn't mean "impossible").
The fact that you have to upgrade to a new distribution version at all as
opposed to getting updated to the next version progressively is a decision
which has nothing to do with yum/rpm nor with tight integration. It's perfectly
possible to do rolling releases with rpm. For example, Rawhide works that way.
It isn't recommended for everyday use though (just like Gentoo ~x86 or ~x86_64
installs).
