Packages are kept in the directory /var/cache/yum

I think the default is to keep package which have been successfully installed, but I'm not positive.

The yum config file, /etc/yum.conf, allows you to set the default cache directory as well as set whether packages are kept.

Look for the keepcache line in yum.conf and make sure it is set to 1

keepcache=1
