The instructions from easyurpmi set up your sources.  You then need to use 
urpmi or Software Installer to do the updates - either way you will see it 
happening.

If you haven't installed slocate, do so.  ISTR that you also have to add 
yourself to the slocate group (userdrake, to do that).  Then, from a console 
you can type
slocate packagename
and you will see all the packages with that name in - including the docs - so 
you will see which version you have installed.

There are probably other ways, but this is the way that I check things.
