I'd go with the priorities plugin.

Everything about Repositories, Protectbase, Priorities and more at:

going over the protection things in yum, I ran a yum check-update and it
returned with having 318 files excluded because of protection. Is that
too high a number? I have the numerical protection set to 1. Is there
a good tutorial about how to correctly set up the protect base. Sorry
if this is a noobie question.. I've been away from CentOS for some time
and needing to get back into the swing of things.

Thanks..

I would suggest you look at setting up "priorities" rather than "protect
base":
