It is not part of the yum specfile, it should be part of the python
specfile.

The yum package as a noarch has been built on i386. There the
directory /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages is owned by python. On
x86_64 only the directory /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages has been
owned by python, the compatibility directory
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages has been forgotten.

So the issue is in an incomplete python compatibility layer at the
packaging level. I'll get a workaround for that, but the bug is really
in the python rpm, not the yum rpm.
