Is it possible for the same thing to happen to Mixing balance from YoMix? Can these transactions be tracked?
The only mixing service that would not come under the radar of centralized exchanges are those that do not really muddy the trail of the transactions making it easy for them to track the source and store up that data for future reference. The attack on privacy exists and involves all mixing or coinjoining services.
Avoiding centralized exchanges would make transacting from mixers easier and without hitches.

Better to go with the wallet transfer to the mixer and then after receiving the newly minted coins, again back to the wallet. Anyways it will create new wallet as well thus making it sure we are not exposing our privacy that way.
However, lets say we are using YoMixer, then it is evident that with coinjoining protocol large number of people will be doing this mixing and thus sharing lets say 0.50 btc. However, it is highly impossible to understand who got which satoshi / btc in the process thus making it more anonymous and it serves the purpose properly.
In case of centralised, the system is bit flawed and runs with higher fees too. This is just personal experience though.
