I have not tested that myself, so I'm not sure what Puppet would do in this
case. I'm pretty sure yum would also install the updates, but only if the
main (rpm/deb) package specifically requires the newer version.
Given the original poster's request, it can be assumed that the package
does not have the updated version number as part of the package definition,
so it needs to be managed separately by Puppet. I don't think its uncommon
to see a package that requires (e.g.) version "5.4", and not get so
specific as "5.4.3".
