Could the offending script be the postuninstall script of selinux-policy:

postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
        setenforce 0 2> /dev/null
        if [ ! -s /etc/selinux/config ]; then
                echo "SELINUX=disabled" > /etc/selinux/config
        else
                sed -i 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
        fi
fi

I also noticed that after the 'yum update', my system was in permissive mode....
