What I did was run a script that had a yum shell command:

script:
#!/bin/bash

# Clean out the old packages with no script
rpm -ev --noscripts kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv nvidia-x11-drv-32bit

# update system
yum clean metadata
yum -y shell /root/upgrade-nvidia-390xx.yumsh


and the upgrade-nvidia-390xx.yumsh file:

# start
remove kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv nvidia-x11-drv-32bit
install kmod-nvidia-390xx nvidia-x11-drv-390xx nvidia-x11-drv-390xx-32bit
upgrade
transaction run
# end
