A 'yum check-update' will tell you what updates are available and 
applicable to your system.  You could create a simple cron job of your 
own to email that to you, or you could modify /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron 
to do it (that is what the yum rc.d script enables), or you could 
install yum-applet (see http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/yum-applet/ ) 
for a gui desktop indicator.
