The idea is that every "yum update" could fetch slightly different versions - either because the auto-mirror picking ("mirrorurl"?) picked a different one or if not using auto-mirror (using "baseurl") the mirror has updated between the staging and the production machines. For staging, I did "yum update" to bring it fully up to date, as you say. E.g. yesterday I updated staging and got my QA guy to test the system (and catch a couple of errors), and today I'll update production with exactly the same versions, no matter what will be found on the mirrors.
