When this happens you should run:
yum-complete-transaction
at the next possible time to see if it can finish the aborted
transaction.

Really important is a bit subjective.
I'd recommend package-cleanup --cleandupes
then run:
rpm -Va and look for problems in files in /usr/lib /lib/ /boot, and all
of the bin dirs.
If you don't see any problems in those places then odds are you'll be
okay with a reboot.
