That only works if if the package was installed using yum or yum history was manually updated to include the package. A good example of this NOT happening is if you use the RPMFusion packages per their instructions. Thus using rpm -e should not affect yum in this case. However, using rpm -q or rpm -ql followed by rpm -e to remove a package installed by yum will leave a dangling entry in yum history.
