As Vic mentioned, --disablerepo is your friend. Yum sucks in LOTS of
data when it works with repos. Much more than apt does (before anyone
starts with the "But Debian doesn't do that..." argument ;p), and thus
memory usage is pretty high. It's also written in Python, which isn't
known for its memory leanness... :)
The reason for the yum vs. RPM question is because RPM can go
a bit haywire with huge RPM packages ;)
