Well, unless you're going to go down the road of full-scripting-language in
yum shell :) , I'd just do something like:

yum check-update yum || yum -y update yum
P=$(echo config installpkgs|yum shell|awk '/> installpkgs:/ {print $3}')
yum check-update $P || yum -y update $P
yum check-update || yum -y update

(except with actually checking return values and doing something with the
output.)
