Verify that a newer claws-mail is available actually. It must be seen by
Yum, or else you keep the F8 pkg and its dependencies. Sometimes packagers
make mistakes and offer a newer pkg release for the older dist(s). Make
sure F9 Updates (or even Test Updates) repo is enabled, so really the
latest F9 pkgs are used as updates.
