no you were right: "sudo yum remove libmtp" was the correct command, yum
removed vlc and rythmbox because they must have a dependency on libmtp.
You could not have kept rythmbox while removing libmtp if rythmox needs
libmtp (except using --force, which you should never use except if you
really know what you're doing).

no need: yum update <localfile.rpm> does the same thing as rpm -Uvh
<localfile.rpm>, except that it installs any deps needed by
localfile.rpm if they are in one of your configured repos. But if that
were the case rpm -Uvh wold have complained about a missing dep and
would have refused to install the rpm.
Another small difference is that yum stores a history of its
transactions (and has some features associated with that), but
installing the odd local package with rpm won't cause any problems AFAIK.
BTW rpm -Uvh and rpm -ivh do the same thing when the package is not
already installed on your system. The difference is that -ivh won't
remove an older version if already present (but you can't do that with
most packages, and rpm won't let you, since different versions of the
same package will often conflict with one another).
To summarize, you did the right things as far as libmtp is concerned.
Now the issue lies beyond that, probably with gvfs-photo2 as suggested
by Farkas via Ljubomir, but I can't help you much with that. Except
Farkas suggests also rebuilding and installing simple-mtpfs, have you
done that?
