Two questions really:

YOU in particular?
Both the man page on yast2 and the document refered in
/usr/share/doc/packages/yast2
do not give more details in controller how the online update is
handled.

b. On a system that I have previously configured to have automated
updates from yast2,
I would like to disable one product from being updated. I am not
convinced the way
I did it have actually taken into effect. Basically from Yast2,
on-line update,
manually selected patches, next, searrch (as the one in question does
not
show up in the YOU Patches), found a grey-out product, select it,
then
from You Patch tab- All in this list - Protected - Do not modify.
(Here I noticed the icon has not been changed.)

I think you should have it.

If you want to be sure, go into YaST2 under System > Software Management and
find the application you want to not be updated.

When it shows up on the list in the right pane, right-click it and select
Proected -- Do Not Modify.

You can certainly test this with something innocuous if you want to be sure.
For example get an old RPM of some unimportant game and then protect it then
do a YOU to see that it doesn't update.
