Rather rhn_check. We can utilize capabilities to do that. I can even 
give you simple example how it works:

In commit 927caa1b6ebcc782e0ae970c639c39b3f88c91ac you will find example 
of server checking client capabilities
In commit 6006097b890aa925e06bf65a81d11d73f78b9103 is example of client 
checking whether server has capability.

But life is not easy so we will have to think how to deal with "yum 
upgrade" and "yum upgrade --disableplugin=protectbase" (or what is the 
name). And that will have to be specificaly coded for that one specific 
plugin. And since no one here probably use protect base plugin and we do 
not have it in road map... You will have to code it yourself, or file 
RFE in bugzilla and wait...
