I'm sure that it looks butt-ugly and confusing to me :).  As if there should 
have been a package listed where the empty lines are but yum forgot to print 
it.  It also takes the obsoleted packages (except the first one) farther away 
from the one that obsoletes them which I don't think is a good thing.  And if 
the intent is to make them stand out, there should be a newline also before 
the first obsoleted one, otherwise it stands out less than the others.  IMO 
the special indent is enough to make them stand out just the right amount.
