I highly doubt that rotor momentum plays a big part in yaw control. Unless you are considering they have so little momentum that it is easy to accelerate/decelerate them quickly. The torque generated is predominantly a function of rotor speed, and not the acceleration of the rotors. But maybe this is what you were saying.
