There are two ways -

The pure yum way - add

exlude=squid

to your fedora-updates.repo file (or your main yum conf file).

The second way - use smart (it's a gui repository manager) and give  
your squid package a higher priority than the updates repository.

For now - the pure yum way of telling to ignore squid updates is  
probably better.
