Scott Silva wins a Prize!

That was the last key piece.

William Maltby and Matt Hyclak pointed out the first vital bits of  
updating yum, sqlite and and then limiting the repos that the system  
banged on.

Johnny (HappyFunBall) Hughes and Karanbir Singh noted that metadata- 
parser would need upgrading as well. [Many thanks for the hard work  
they do on CentOS!]

So, to summarize:

Download the latest RPMS for:

yum
yum-metadata-parser
sqlite
python
python-sqlite

You will have to manually satisfy any additional dependencies.

Once done, I was able to "yum -y update" to my heart's content.
