It's a bit worse than that for me. When configured to automatically install updates, it starts eating RAM until it is stopped or restarted. I've seen it using several hundred megs, I don't know how high it would go if allowed to. It also prevents me from running yum. yum tells me that it is already running; the PID pointed to by the lock file is for yum-updatesd. >So I'm using the old cron job to keep my systems up to date. Me too.
