Topic: yum update postfix 2.6/2.1 query

I have a new server since few month ago with iRedMail, it all works well with Postfix 2.6.6 on CentOS MySQL
Linux 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 25 19:59:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# postconf -d | grep mail_version
mail_version = 2.6.6
milter_macro_v = $mail_name $mail_version

couple of days I noticed this on yum update[1];

I don't understand what yum is telling me:
'updated'
'an update'

is it going to update 2.6.6 to 2.6.6-2.3 ?
why is it offering 2.11 ?

apologies for asking dumb questions, thank for any pointers and suggestions
