Upgrading phones should "just work" without any fear of breakage. Using apt this is known to work and it is not known that yum is superior. I would add that I have seen only unconvincing arguments that yum is even as good as apt, so I call it inferior.

Whether upgrade works or not is the result of hard work of people preparing the upgrade, not some "magic" provided by apt/yum.

I cannot imagine that switching to a Fedora base will make anything better, and I expect it will make many things worse.

MeeGo is not using Fedora base, it's a new distribution that happens to use RPM.

While it probably was not reason for the switch (they cite existing infrastructure and people intel have in place), RPM packaging is allegedly easier than Debian packaging (only need to edit one file and you are good to go).
