Tickling this thread to see if I can get a confirmation of the described behavior for rpm update via yum.
I do not want to cross-post (but if this is not the correct forum, please let me know).

It looks at that point, postgresql (postmaster) processes automatically restart. In the procedure I was building, I figured I'd need to stop/start postgres (systemctl stop postgresql-12, systemctl start postgresql-12), but that doesn't look to be necessary. I don't recall this automatic postmaster restart occurring a few weeks ago when I went from 12.4.1 to 12.5.1 - perhaps it did, but I just stopped/re-started postgres unnecessarily.
