Your second example has double quotes within double quotes and I'm wondering if that's getting rendered as "yum --debuglevel="      1      " install ..." (extra space added for emphasis).
 
The outermost quotes are not part of the command, they were only a means to set off the command typed from the surrounding text.

Single quotes around the option arg don't work either.
