But, can one install a specific version of a package from the yum command?
Sure. You do a find and then get all available packages. Then you pick the one you want. You need to use it's "long name" then, of course. There might be a new problem then, though: more dependencies on older versions of packages. So, depending on the whole scenario it might be easier to use rpm instead of yum.
