| Simply run:

| yum remove yum-updatesd

The old fashioned Red Hat way of changing what things are started at
starup is chkconfig.
$ /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep yum
yum-updatesd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Suggested command (untested):
# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd off
That only affects future boots. To affect the running system:
# /sbin/service yum-updatesd stop
