He's on CentOS-3 the man page for yum-2.0 does not have that section.
It's only on the CentOS-4 with yum-2.4.

       Specifying package names
              A package can be referred to for install,update,list,remove etc
              with any of the following:

              name
              name.arch
              name-ver
              name-ver-rel
              name-ver-rel.arch
              name-epoch:ver-rel.arch
              epoch:name-ver-rel.arch

              For example: yum remove kernel-2.4.1-10.i686
