Normally you can just use yum to do this for you:

$ sudo yum localinstall some.rpm

This will attempt to install the rpm you've downloaded, plus any
dependencies it needs (X, Y, and Z in your example).

It didn't work in Anne's case because she hadn't yet imported the GPG
keys for the repository she was trying to use, so a "raw" rpm command
was necessary on that occasion.
