Recovering from yum breakdown

I was just running "yum update" on a remote computer
when the link broke.
(I know I should have been running yum in the background,
but I wasn't ...)
When it broke down, yum had installed 90 out of 190 packages.
(I hadn't updated that machine for some time.)

When I ran "yum update" again, it installed the remaining 100 packages.
and cleaned up after them.
But it never cleaned up after the first 90 packages.

(a) Is there any way of running the missed cleanups?

(b) Could this be described as a yum bug?
