Since vzpkgcache is broken by default on some setups... and the fixes are pretty complicated / messy... I prefer to just use pre-created OS Templates. I don't use vzyum and just use yum inside of the container.
Sometimes the pre-created OS Templates are a little dated... but it is very easy to create a temporary container and install all of the updates. You can even install any additional software you'd like and then turn that container into a new OS Template. I'll not go into the details here but if you have any specific questions about the process, feel free to ask.
I realize it is hard for OpenVZ to fix this because it requires changes to distro packages... and having to offer alternative / replacement packages for various distributions would be a maintenance nightmare.
