*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 122624 ***
This is not a duplicate of 122624. This is a situation where yum doesn't pick up gracefully when interrupted. yum wasn't finished with its previous run when interrupted.
Then this is a feature request, and the yum package will be fixed when the maintainer decides if/when to add restartability to yum.
