[CentOS] Problems with yum not updating properly

Has anyone else seen this?

I recently got the announcement about the xorg 1.5 update being available,
so I ran yum update to get it.

To my surprise, I found that yum did not see it at all.

With some help from Karanbir (thanks again), we decided there might be
something wrong with my repo path, so I checked it against the older one I
had from 5.0 (which I saved, for some reason) and found that the new ones
did not have protect or enable commands in them, so I added them to match my
5.0 ones.

Yum suddenyl found the xorg 1.5 updates and installed them.

But now, yum can't see the wireshark update, and although I probably don't
need it since I don't use that (AFAIK), yum does not see that one, but
suddenly it sees a kernel update (2.6.18-53.1.6).

Anyone have a clue why this might be (or what I should post here to help
clera it up)?

Here is my CentOS-Base.repo:

# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for
CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client.  You should use this for CentOS
updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
