Well, that's really complecated.  I remember in the days that
there was a rawhide-release package, yum upgrade used to install
fedora-release and remove rawhide-release, and yum update the
other way...   Would be nice that when yum shows what it's gonna
do and asks for yes/no, also show what it's going to remove.

And my experiences show that sometimes it needs manual handling.
And in this case of upgrade/update, poor users would appreciate
it if you mention in the manual the difference AND that upgrade
can save lifes sometimes...
