Hi LenR,
    You do not required to uninstalled the package if you want to upgrade 
it.
Puppet package resource automatically upgrade/install the* latest version 
package* present in the yum repos, if you specify ensure => 'latest'.
You can also specify the package version along with name and make ensure => 
present.
 
Thanks and Regards,
