Does 'YUM install' always install the latest app version?

Hi there,

This is a probably stupid question, but I never checked what strategy yum
uses.

If I do "yum install firefox" on a freshly installed F19 system, and the
initial version of FIrefox on F19 (the one shipped on the LiveCD) is, say,
21.0, but the latest update on the repos is, say, Firefox 23.0. Does "yum
install firefox" directly fetch FF 23.0.x, or does it install the
"baseline" browser (21.0) and then on the next "yum update firefox" jump to
23?.

Thanks in advance.
FC
