It is possible to limit the packages yum uses from a specific repo. 
  From "man yum.conf":

exclude
     Same as the [main] exclude option but only for this  repository.
     Substitution variables, described below, are honored here.

includepkgs
     Inverse  of  exclude. This is a list of packages you want to use
     from a repository. If this option lists only  one  package  then
     that  is  all yum will ever see from the repository. Defaults to
     an empty list.  Substitution  variables,  described  below,  are
     honored here.
