There's no significant difference in the behaviour of different 
graphical software tools in F21 and F22.

GNOME Software was the default (and only installed) graphical software 
manager in Fedora Workstation 21, and it's the same in Fedora 
Workstation 22. Its design and behaviour hasn't changed in any notable 
way.

yumex is a different graphical software manager. It is not installed 
by default in Fedora Workstation - in 21 or 22. It *is* installed by 
default in the Cinnamon, Xfce, LXDE, and MATE spins.

If you don't have it installed, you can install it with 'yum install 
yumex' and find it in the overview after that.

As Michael said, yum per se provides no graphical application you 
would find through the overview. I'm really pretty sure you must be 
remembering yumex, nothing else seems to fit the bill.
