I had the same issue with audit, and thought it was strange as well ... 
I was actually planning on sending a note to this list about it as well 
.. but John beat me to it.

By looking at /var/cache/yum/core/comps.xml file, it seems that audit is 
  an optional package part of "system-tools" group, which somehow is not 
getting installed ... Shouldn't it be installed by default?

As far as emacs goes .. The group "editors" seems to be installed since 
my system has vi which part of it, however emacs is an optional package.
