Did you try "yum info recent"?

If thats not good enough, you can try this cheezy script:
- - - - - - -
#!/bin/sh
MONTH=$(LC_ALL=C date +"%Y-%B")
FILE_NAME=$MONTH.txt
URL=https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/
TMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
pushd $TMP_DIR > /dev/null
rm -f $FILE_NAME*
wget -q $URL/$FILE_NAME.gz
gunzip $FILE_NAME.gz
NEW_PACKAGES=$(grep "^NEW" $MONTH.txt | cut -d' '  -f3)
yum info $NEW_PACKAGES
popd > /dev/null
rm -rf TMP_DIR
- - - - - - -
