I was under the impression that this is what 'pinning' packages was
available for. I don't see this as a bug but as expected
behaviour. After all, we do expect yum and it's tools up update
all available packages unless we tell it not to.

Now, if the packages were pinned, and the update script went ahead and
updated them anyway, that would be a bug.
