How did you make the change?  Did you disable it *and* stop it?

There's two separate parts to controlling services.  You can set what
will be started on certain run levels, and *separately* start and stop
services, now.

e.g. Stop yum updatesd from being started:  chkconfig yum-updatesd off
     (this will *not* change what the service is doing at the moment)

     Stop it from running, when it already is:  service yum-updatesd stop
     (this will *not* change whether it is started when the computer boots)
