sounds like the mirror you are updating from is not up to date.

We currently know that one mirror is bad:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-mirror/2008-February/002532.html

Please look at the file "/var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt" and see the

tell me which one it is, as it may be out of date.
