In my output, what seems more relevant is that it appears to be 
connecting to the mirror and downloading information. That seems wrong 
for a help request (yum --help). Here are the relevant lines:

13:15:11 connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("209.132.177.50")}, 16) = 0

13:15:11 send(4, "GET /download/mirrors/updates-te"..., 136, 0) = 136
