Apparently.

yum searches repositories.  'rrdtool' isn't in any of the ones it was
searching in your example so it's no great shock that it can't find
it.

I get the same gpg-pubkey package when I run the same thing on my
CentOS box, but I also get a vast horde of RRD-related packages too as
I've got yum looking at the DAG repository.

If you want to search the local RPM database use 'rpm' not 'yum'.
