They don't really do different things to the rpm database.

yum erase/remove will ALSO solve for and remove dependencies (other 
things that need to be removed that depend on the packages you want to 
remove).

HOWEVER ... yum is nothing more than a depsolver and front end that uses 
rpm to do it's actions, so it is NOT different that rpm -e (it uses rpm 
-e) when removing files.
