 Actually it's in yum itself now, I think this is the fix:

diff --git a/yum/packages.py b/yum/packages.py
index acfb9f0..da4d0d8 100644
--- a/yum/packages.py
+++ b/yum/packages.py
@@ -928,7 +928,7 @@ class YumAvailablePackage(PackageObject, RpmBase):
             return ""
         msg = "\n"
         clog_count = 0
-        for (ts, author, content) in reversed(sorted(self.changelog)):
+        for (ts, author, content) in reversed(self.changelog):
             if clog_limit and clog_count >= clog_limit:
                 break
             clog_count += 1

...while I'm 99% sure the above is good, I'm not going to apply that
upstream/rawhide atm. ... due to the current real world date/time thing.

 The sort is useless, yes ... but it's not sorting what is output, so
it's not doing any harm either.

 Applied.
