Not sure what you mean by the "skip list", but there is an exclude list
that you can put in your /etc/yum.conf.  From the man page for yum.conf:

exclude - List of packages to  exclude  from  updates  or  installs.
This should  be  a space separated list.  Shell globs using wildcards
(eg. * and ?) are allowed.
