Dunno'

$ man yum.conf
/exclude

 exclude
              list  of  packages  to  exclude  from  updates or installs. This
              should be a space separated list.  Filename globs *,?,., etc are
              allowed

$ man yum
/exclude
      --exclude
              Takes  a  package  name  or wildcard for a package. You can list
              this option more than once on the command line to  exclude  more
              than one package name or wildcard
