If I enable automatic security updates via "update_cmd = security" in "/etc/yum/yum-cron.conf" how am I able to control the "default" behavior of the other packages?

It really depends on whether it’s CentOS or RHEL. CentOS doesn’t have security metadata in its repositories, so “update_cmd = security” will do nothing.

Interesting I thought otherwise, and yes, it is CentOS 7.

Some 3rd party repos such as EPEL have security metadata, so it’ll work for those, but not the base CentOS repos.

Thank you. Just because I'm curious. What would it look like if I used e.g. EPEL? So how can I control a channel other than the configured packet channel? For example, if I set security and want to control the remaining packets like "Default".
