Oh, I thought yum had a different cache / database of what is installed?
Yum keeps a cache and database of what's in the repositories, so it can search more easily when you're looking to install something from the repositories. When it comes to the actual install/removal of applications, that gets farmed out to rpm, so as Ralph stated: with the exception of depsolving, yum remove and rpm -e do the same thing.
