​Well, if you could have observed the progress of yum update while
it was taking place, you would have seen the yum uses the
cursor package to display the progress of the download of a particular
component of the update.
Yum is usually downloading 4 components (packages) at a time, and
shows the progress in amount of bytes (or K bytes or M bytes) transferred
once every second or so.
So, in the output, you are seeing that progress of a package, which is
yum history displays as the number of the package in the download sequence,
followed by how many bytes were transferred.
​For example packages 93 to 98 were being downloaded simultaneously
(separate threads???) and the progress of the TOTAL transfer for these
packages gets displayed in the form you see.

Hope this helps!
