As you can see, at this particular time incident, the yum process consumes
101.0 percent of CPU. This must be an error. Is it?

Also, I've never noticed this before, I therefor think this is introduced with
F9 or F8 (I used F7 until today).

Top has always done that. The stats it uses are just estimates and sometimes
can wind up off by a bit. I think some versions of top may have explicitly
checked to see if the total wound up over 100% and set it back to 100 so
the glitch wouldn't show up :-).
