Not guaranteed, but it works within a massively more constrained 
environment and so certain fundamental issues don't apply. yum 
distro-sync requires that all currently running applications are able to 
deal with their files being replaced. Preupgrade doesn't. That's a 
pretty obvious distinction, and it's why preupgrade is supportable in a 
way that yum isn't.
