yum does not automatically install anything. you would need to initiate
an install / update operation by hand.
Having said that, it should not be too hard to write a plugin that would
force a user confirm for any package that drops or touches a file in
/etc ( assuming you can get to a stage where /etc/* does represent all
config data on a machine ).
Alternatively, you could do it where the package payload is checked for
config metadata.
