Or if not, is there a way to make yum be aware of them? Does 'rpm -qa' and 'yum list installed' query the same source?

Yum is aware of packages that are installed or updated via the rpm command. As proof for example you could manually install an outdated version of a package that is available in an upstream repository via rpm -ivh <package> and then run yum clean all && yum update and it'll update.

Both command uses rpm db files under /var/lib/rpm/, yum is a only a python script to manipulate the rpms
