Do yum and up2date play nice?

FWIW you are taken care of adaquately by just running yum, it will
gracefully update anything that needs updating from Core, Extras and
any "other" repos assuming you have properly configured it to do so.
There is a possiblity that some of the other repos packages may
conflice with Core/Extras (YMMV). As far as the duplicate rpms go
keeping the newest version of each and doing rpm -e foo on the older
of each pair should suffice.
