If I want to make sure I get the new release from Red Hat (or anywhere else
for that matter) I change the release from (in this case) "2%{dist}" to
either "2.0.1%{dist}" or "2%{dist}.0.1".  It's possible, but highly
unlikely, that Red Hat would release a new version that is the same as
either of those: they might go for "2.1%{dist}" or simply rebuild the same
version for RHEL7 (that'll get the google searchers wondering).

I've never come across a case where yum would use the build date or similar
to determine a package is newer: the underlying RPM stuff uses only the
epoch, release and version doesn't it?
