That's a local package, so it's controlled by:

              localpkg_gpgcheck  Either  `1' or `0'. This tells yum whether or
              not it should perform a GPG signature check  on  local  packages
              (packages in a file, not in a repositoy).  The default is `0'.
Comment 4 Dimitar Yordanov 2012-04-17 07:07:28 UTC 
Hi James, 

  The problem is that RHEL5 (yum-3.2.22-39.el5) does not respect "localpkg_gpgcheck" and default behaviour for local packages is to check for gpg.
  This makes scripts that works just fine on RHEL5 to fail on RHEL6.
