Could the offending script be the postuninstall script of selinux-policy:

postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
       setenforce 0 2> /dev/null
       if [ ! -s /etc/selinux/config ]; then
               echo "SELINUX=disabled" > /etc/selinux/config
       else
               sed -i 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
       fi
fi

I also noticed that after the 'yum update', my system was in permissive mode....
