The first time you run yum it downloads a small header file for each RPM
in the repository.  It will use this information to determine if you
still have anything installed that is older than current.  If so, it
will offer to update a list of packages and you will have to answer
y
to continue.  When you run 'yum update' again it will only have to
pick up any headers that are new in the repository so it goes much
faster.

I think that just means delete them from the panel, so the right-mouse,
add should put them back.  I'd wait until yum tells you that everything
is up to date, though.
