If you just want a summary, you can do (depending on what you want to
know):
repoquery --installed -a --qf '%{ui_from_repo}' | sort | uniq -c
repoquery --installed -a --qf '%{yumdb_info.from_repo}' | sort | uniq -c
...or the easier to type/remember but maybe less likely what you want:
yum version -v nogroups
...if you could give us a better idea of what you are trying to do we
might be able to make something more usable.

'released' version would be awesome.
