I can't say for yum, I used synaptic/apt for the upgrade.

But yes, synaptic didn't automatically offer to install the elrepo 
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit. Instead it offered to install the old dkms nvidia 
stuff from rpmforge, even though I have elrepo pinned with a higher 
priority than rf. But never mind, most people have probably shifted to 
yum by now... I'm just stuck on apt, been using it since Matthias 
offered it in freshrpms for RH 7.3 or 8.0 ;-)
