Instead of integrating yum into rpm, just use a tool (such as yum
itself) to install your packages instead of rpm.  I don't know offhand
if yum already supports this, but if not, it should. ;-)

The graphical tools like system-install-packages and friends should also
then integrate with yum.

I'm sure the maintainers will accept patches for such a feature. ;-)
