SELinux has interfered with the %post and %pre scriptlets contained 
within the rpm installation packages before with pup and yum itself in 
the past.

try running 'setenforce 0' before running the yumex updating program. 
The scriptlets should run successfully when SELinux only warns instead 
of denies.

%pre scriptlet failures usually kill the updating program. %post 
scriptlet errors usually report the program was installed but never 
actually complete the successful installation of the programs.

Filing a report related to yumex and a mention of an SELinux problem 
might help get yumex and SELinux working together instead of in separate 
directions would be possible after the problem(s) corrected.
