Yes.  If you have installed the bash-completion package, then yum
provides an expanded set of completions for its commands.  The
list of completions for yum list available [tab] are going to come
from the repositories, not from the local files in your working
directory.

If you had a file names ListAvailable in your working dir, what would
you want 'yum list available ListAvailable' to do?  Per the yum man
page, the syntax for the command is:

    yum list available [glob_exp1] [...]

Having it expand a local file makes little sense to me.
