This is a questing that has a not so easy answer.

In most cases yes, upgrading through yum will keep your system in the
same state as a fresh install of the FCxTx release. However, some times
things are set up at install (eg, I believe selinux).

The default install of FC3 has started to use LVM by default for hard
drive partitions, if you were to try and go from FC2 to FC3 then this
would be done.

Does that help at all answer your question?
