It looks like something that is being updated is pulling in the yum package as a dependency. As Tom mentioned, you can find out by trying to remove yum, or even better, by running "dnf repoquery --installed --whatrequires yum".
at the moment yum is not installed on my machine and the result of
dnf repoquery --installed --whatrequires yum
is completely empty.
This means that one of the packages that need to be updated has become dependent on yum, that sounds strange to me since yum is a sort of deprecated in fedora.
In particular the new dependency to yum is in one of this packages:
breeze-cursor-theme breeze-icon-theme kde-style-breeze libkworkspace5 plasma-breeze plasma-breeze-common plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-common plasma-workspace-drkonqi plasma-workspace-geolocation plasma-workspace-geolocation-libs plasma-workspace-libs sddm-breeze
OK, I just checked with "dnf repoquery --whatrequires yum-utils" on my F23 and among the listed packages there really is one of those you mentioned:
plasma-workspace-drkonqi-0:5.6.5-1.fc23.x86_64
Since yum-utils requires yum and yum requires yum-metadata-parser, you get all these pulled in for the update transaction.
To me seems that plasma is getting dependent on yum, probably could be the case to fill a bug report.
Yup, feel free to file a bug against that plasma package.
