Yes and yes. It works perfectly for me. I've had no trouble at all.
Like Tim and unlike Mark, I also have trouble with this--I believe this
is a selinux-enabled problem with respect to PackageKit/PolicyKit and
VNC sessions, at least based on the googling that I've been able to do.
I've tried changing policy from my actual console (which is
inconveniently 7 feet off the ground in the garage), but have thus far
been unable to have much luck--I haven't tried completely wide-open
policies though. I did install yumex for finding installables,
however. I use 'yum update' from the command line for regular updating.
