i have not come across this issue before and apart from my case being 
rubbish this is how i automate hardware monitoring rpm installation at 
kickstart time and it works fine for me, although yes, not using yum....

# Install the distro specific monitoring
VENDOR=`dmidecode | grep Vendor | awk '{print$2}'`
DISTRO=`cat /etc/redhat-release | awk {'print$7'}`
ARCH=`uname -i`
OSTYPE=`echo $VENDOR$DISTRO$ARCH`

case "$OSTYPE" in
