So I would like to know how i can fully update KDE, because now I don't have several packages
Sorry. When you asked how to update kde, I took the word "update" literally. What it seems you want to do is install everything related to kde, which is a different question altogether.
"yum install kde*" will install everything you see in the list you produced above, along with all its dependencies.
I have no idea where kdetoys is found. It's not located in any of the repositories I use (fedora-base, fedora-extras, fedora-updates-released, livna).
So now it's installed great. So installing kde is the same as updating existing packages of kde PLUS installing other kde packages that were not already installed?
Is that right?

No. "yum install <package>" will install the latest versions of all packages specified; it won't update existing packages. "yum update <package>" will update only installed packages; it won't install any packages that aren't already installed.
One clarification... If you already have, say, version 1 of a package (call it P1V1) installed, and you want to install version 2 of an add-on to that package (call it P1addonV2), the yum install for the add-on would likely install version 2 of P1 (or P1V2) as a dependency.
Depends... Try it. You can always answer "N" when yum asks if you really want to perform the update. Alternatively, you can execute "yum check update" to discover packages yum wants to update.
