Similar situations occur when dealing with libraries: generally these get
installed since packages containing applications depend on them. When the
application-package is purged, the library-package might stay on the system. Or:
when the application-package no longer depends upon e.g. libdb4.2, but upon
libdb4.3, the libdb4.2 package might stay when the application-package is upgraded.

And unless you are short on space that isn't particularly a problem.
There are tools that help find leaf packages if you want to do some pruning.
I am pretty sure that there is even something that will notice that a
package getting removed will make something a leaf and remove that too.
I don't use it, since I typically like kitchen sink installations, so I
don't have exact details for you. It shouldn't be too hard to find though.

package-cleanup --leaves
and
package-cleanup --leaves --all

and the plugin yum-remove-with-leaves.
