Ansible Update yum human friendly output

I'd like to get a better output format from Ansible when running yum updates

My playbook:

- hosts: all
  user: ansbl
  gather_facts: true
  become: true
  tasks:
    - name: Check YUM Updates
      yum:
        name: '*'
        state: latest
        update_cache: yes
        skip_broken: yes
      register: yum_output
      when: ansible_facts['os_family'] == "RedHat"
      check_mode: yes

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ yum_output.changes.updated }}"
      when: ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"

My output:

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [myhost] => {
    "msg": [
        [
            "nss", 
            "3.44.0-7.el7_7.x86_64 from rhui-rhel-7-server-rhui-rpms"
        ], 
        [
            "kernel-tools", 
            "3.10.0-1062.9.1.el7.x86_64 from rhui-rhel-7-server-rhui-rpms"
        ], 
        [
            "nss-softokn-freebl", 
            "3.44.0-8.el7_7.x86_64 from rhui-rhel-7-server-rhui-rpms"
        ]
    ]
}

Desired output:

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [myhost] => {
    "msg": [
        "nss", "3.44.0-7.el7_7.x86_64 from rhui-rhel-7-server-rhui-rpms"
        "kernel-tools", "3.10.0-1062.9.1.el7.x86_64 from rhui-rhel-7-server-rhui-rpms"
        "nss-softokn-freebl", "3.44.0-8.el7_7.x86_64 from rhui-rhel-7-server-rhui-rpms"
    ]
}

I've seen a method of collecting updated packages from dpkg as a separate task, but if possible I'd like to contain this in one debug task. I've tried piping to list and join but this returned the same output result.

Try this one

- debug:
    msg: "{{ msg[:-1].split('\n') }}"
  vars:
    msg: |-
      {% for pkg in yum_output.changes.updated %}
      {{ pkg.0 }}, {{ pkg.1 }}
      {% endfor %}
  when: ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"
