You could also put a shell or python wrapper around yum for this thing if you wanted to:
That's what we do at BU.
parse the arguments on the cli and see if it is just running 'update' for all packages w/o looking for any other specific thing. If so then first run a yum update yum. If that completes successfully then run the rest of the update. that might be easiest, actually.
It's also safer -- does the plugin handle the case where something yum depends on is being updated (or added) too?
