When running "yum update" the packages are pulled from the registered repository, found in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

When switching the provider of package updates, the old repository must be disabled, and a new one substituted, among other changes that the new provider requires to switch support.

Oracle makes (by default) modest changes for such a switch. Red Hat essentially rewrites your whole operating system, and has added a warning that consultants should be retained for such conversions in case of trouble.
