Red Hat docs say:
To see which installed packages on your system have updates available,
use the following command:
yum check-update
What command must I run to view all available
versions for a package installed on my system?
Example: yum check-update
tells me java6
update #43
is available, but what if I want update #40
?

This command won't focus specifically on one package, but by using a regex to do the matching you can still see what's available:
You can make it "smarter" by filtering the output using
grep
.
