Should just have grub2 and not grub - looks like a yum or rpm problem?

Yum updates are something I intent to look and see if there's anything
we can do to make them work, but right now there are a lot of things that
are higher priority.  It might be possible to do something with rpm
triggers to fix the yum update case; I'm not sure yet.

You know all those times in the past when we (the anaconda group) have
said that there are just some things yum upgrade can't get right?

Just sayin'.
