OBAs are a class of chemicals added to paper to make it appear "whiter" to your eye. These brighteners work by absorbing UV light and re-emitting light in the blue region. OBAs breakdown over time and allow the true, more natural shade of paper to emerge - thus yellowing will occur.
OBA breakdown does not affect the life of an inkjet print. However, the changing shade of the base paper will become more noticable over time.

Papers with Low OBA Content
Papers with low OBAs will shift in color slightly over a long period of time. The best way to minimize any OBA shift is to protect prints under UV resistant glass.
