This machine currently has F8 and I believe it was an upgrade from 7.   
Previous Flash (v9) was done before there was a yum repo, I believe.

If there are two versions installed and  old version is removed from the 
plugin files, then the new one will be "seen" and used. I just tested 
this out on my F9 machine.

I agree, the yum repo would be a better bet since yum will help you by 
replacing instead of just adding.
