Is it wrong to chime in to reply to myself? :)

I did a quick google and found this from the yum list[1]:

    Not with yum itself, but you can use use repoquery which can be
    found in yum-utils. And of course for installed packages there's
    always rpm -ql.
    
        - Panu

So, to query for the list of files without downloading the full
package, install yum-utils and run:

    $ repoquery --list package-name
