It doesn't. Yum warns that the RPM database has been modified by a tool other than Yum, but you're free to ignore that warning. Yum maintains a few own databases (see e.g. "yum history") in addition to the RPM db, and for packages installed/removed with plain "rpm", it won't be able to track them for features such as "yum history undo …".
I did eventually figure that out. Still, I try for peace and harmony on my systems. ;)
Just got in the habit of yum localinstall, as that does the job of making sure you have all the dependencies right.
