Maybe the CentOS-Base.repo file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ is the one for
CentOS-4 and not CentOS-5.

The only difference between the CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 repo files is the
key ... we have different keys for CentOS-4 and CentOS-5.

By default, there are many CONFIG files that are not replaced if they
have been updated when you do normal upgrades.  In most cases, you will
instead get a file that is a replacement called <config-file-name>.rpmnew

On an upgrade from CentOS-4 to CentOS-5, you will have MANY files named
.rpmnew that you will need to look at and you will need to modify the
appropriate config files that are currently in place (and designed for
CentOS-4) to work with CentOS-5.
