yum shouldn't do that, do you have exactarch set to 0? The man page
says (yum.conf(5)):

       exactarch
              Either ‘1’ or ‘0’. Set to ‘1’ to make yum update only update the
              architectures of packages that you have installed. ie: with this
              enabled yum will not install an i686 package to update  an  i386
              package. Default is ‘1’.
