You should have a cached copy of the old package (as long as no one has
done a clean recently).  As far as I know this is in /var/cache/up2date,
/var/spool/up2date or somewhere else around there.  It should be simply
a matter of 'installing' the old RPM over the top, with the relevant
options to allow package downgrade.  There could be a 'RedHat' way of
doing this, however I have used this method successfully in the past
when planning back outs.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Tim
