You can "rollback" and "undo" "yesterday's" (Wednesday's ?) updates with
the "yum history" command *if the history_record config option has been 
set (I don't know whether or not it is set by default)*.

If not, the packages updated with dates are listed in /var/log/yum.log
- you could downgrade them explicitly, though the log doesn't (on SL6)
record the replaced version number so you would have to find those
some other way.
