Updating OpenSSH over SSH with yum CentOS

I was recently doing some updates on a CentOS server, and one of the packages that showed needing an update was OpenSSH (you can see what needs update by running yum check-update). I'm always nervous about updating OpenSSH while connected to the server over SSH, will I loose my connection?.

Everything went fine, and my ssh connection remained intact while updating OpenSSH on CentOS using YUM.
