Try hitting yum with a -d7; its hard to tell from the very little pasted
data as to what the issue might be. At the very least, you dont have a
valid CentOS-Base.repo in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and/or your
/etc/yum.conf has been changed. To check for both of those: rpm -V
centos-release ; should tell you.
