Make sure you have sendmail-cf RPM installed also. I normally do the
fixes by hand as in

DATE=$(date -Im)
yum install sendmail-cf
m4 < /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.${DATE}
diff /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.${DATE}
cp -b /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.${DATE} /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
service sendmail restart
