AFAIK, yum checks all (configured) repos, and chooses the latest
packages from whatever repo they are. In this case, 99.9% of the time
the kde-redhat will have more up-to-date packages than any other (for
KDE apckages, of course), so yum will updtae all to the newer
versions.

I actually suggest anyone who likes KDE to configure the kde-redhat
repo and update the packages right after installing FC, to make sure
the KDE is up-to-date.
