I have repeatedly had updates that failed to complete, and when I restarted it the update began from the point where it previously ended. Regardless of whether that was in the download of headers, download of packages, or actually during the update of the packages. It seems that yum is able to check all the involved parts and figure out where it ended and restart without repeating or skipping anything. (As I would expect it to do.)
