The output listed there seems to show that you're testing something
different on F14 and EL5.

* The EL5 output is exactly as expected and all three tests output matches
* The EL5 output looks like you're only doing three steps whereas FC14
  has seven.
* The initial 3 steps of the rpm test on FC14 are as expected and match in
  output to the EL5 output.
* The FC14 steps with yum look like you already have an rpm newer package
  installed.  Looking at your demo.sh script, one possibility is that you
  aren't removing the rpm-scriptlets-ng package at the very beginning of
  testing.
