You sure those false positives are coming from yum? Yum can't do 
file-conflict checks b/c it doesn't have the checksums of the files in its 
metadata with which to do proper file-conflict checks.

So chances are the messages you're seeing are coming from rpm.

If you have an example of what you're seeing please post it in a bug.
