They are the same with current configuration defaults.

See "man yum". Look up the "update" and "upgrade" commands and also the
"--obsoletes" option, which is relevant here. Notice that /etc/yum.conf
defaults to obsoletes=1 (i.e. this setting is enabled by default).

Don't be afraid. This command does NOT (!) do an automatic upgrade of
Fedora to another Fedora release inspite of some people spreading
FUD like that. ;)
