Indeed - that's why we recommend deleting all old installers before starting. Besides, you might need the disk space for the new ones! I've tweaked the article to note that external drives might have copies. Again, those should be deleted - just ejected the drive is a start, but you don't want those old versions sitting around confusing things in the future. Having previously downloaded OS X installers on mounted external disks didn't cause any problems for me at all.
I was still able to re-download the El Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks installers. Instead of ending up in the Applications folder, the newly-downloaded installers simply replaced the older ones stored on my external drive—saving me the trouble of copying the new installers to the external drive after download.
I like to keep different version installers — For my scenario, redownloading won't work, will it? You only get the last version of the OS installer. Unfortunately, I think you're right - you can only get the latest version from Apple, so there's no way to get a previous minor version installer as far as I know.
You might look into the command line installer tool, as mentioned in the article. I don't know if that can be used for OS X as a whole, but it might be worth some research. I hate it when those who pirate software have it easier then those of us who bought the software legitimately.

Can I just replace the Installer with the new version, or do I have to reformat and install via Terminal again?
I'm guessing you can just replace the installer, but a test to make sure it works would be prudent, so you're certain it will work in an emergency situation. So wouldn't you think Apple would put a different version number on the installers with the upgraded certificate so people would know?
Interestingly, two of the new ones had the same version number as the installer on my flash drives but the new Yosemite was version 1. The 'new' installer had an older version number! Yeesh, Apple, if this is certificate issue is a real problem.
Thanks for the heads up. This is a problem that certainly could have caused me no end of trouble. Time to update my USB installers that I keep handy for providing support for friends and family.
Installed Is this a joke? I was all paranoid as I went to do a wipe and install for a client today. My old flash drive with Yosemite on it worked fine. No, it's not a joke, as the screenshot at the top shows. Why your Yosemite drive didn't fail same with the guy with Lion above is an interesting question, and not one I know the answer to.
You saved us all hours of grief. Spent last nite downloading. Thankfully was able to via my laptop, but how many folks have 3 Macs.
