That's a very reasonable point.  I suggest it take an argument that is
the maximum delay, so you can have

yum -r 3600

Internally, you can just have the default be 0.  Basically it's simple
enough and common enough that it makes sense to build into yum.  I
might suggest uppercase R or a long option, though.  I prefer to leave
the lower case options for common command line args that are
frequently typed by a human.

(I think this may be exactly what rgb was suggestion... if so, sorry
for the redundancy)
