Shelling out to the yum command could be used to do this, yes, though you
will first need to make sure the RPMs are present on the remote machine.
"ansbile reports a change, but when I check the system the packages are not
installed."
ansible will always report a change when a command runs, try running it by
hand and see what happens?
Usage of "changed_when" can be used to control the "changed" response in
Ansible.
For your last question, the yum module will not take local RPM path
wildcards.
