You can safely delete the file in /etc/yum/pluginconfig.d, that I believe you 
recreated when you saw that, that file after the updates was an rpm.new, and 
the original file was gone.

The skip-broken.conf file no doubt has to do with the file that you recreated, 
and should no longer exist. Deleting the file you recreated should get of 
this complaint.

I use Apt which keeps all kernels as default, but if you want to do the same 
with Yum, you can set the installonly_limit line in /etc/yum.conf as.
installonly_limit=0

Apparently this disables it, and all kernels are kept.
