I believe the yum rpm udates will move your original files to something like yum.conf.rpmsave.
At least I've seen that several times and I'm not sure how it gets created - maybe Seth can clarify.
rpm moves the files around if they are marked as config(noreplace), etc.
So if a file got overwritten it's a function of rpm deciding that it was either unchanged or not a config file.
