The auto update of openldap through rhn overwrote the database files with empty files, then did the same several hours after we restored the server. After that experience, we setup a recovery plan using slapcat to backup the database on a regular basis. I don't know what you are currently doing to backup your database, but I would suggest backing it up before running any updates from Redhat.
I really hope someone from Redhat is paying attention to this. I would expect them to fix an update that breaks customers' installations.
