Is the use of yast (or yum) inside a VPS a potential security issue for an entire OpenVZ installation? Has anyone else experience this kind of thing?

I have a suse 9.3 VE running on a debian HN. I use yast online update in the VE. It does not update any kernel, because I do not have a kernel installed in the VE. But even if there was a kernel installed in the VE, it would not matter. From inside the VE, you can't alter any HN files or libraries, because they are outside the chrooted VE.

Maybe something else caused the problems you described, and the guilty party is not aware of their error.
