I don't know whether it relates to the same problem, but I couldn't properly upgrade a system running 6.0 + CR that wasn't at the latest patch level when 6.1 came out. Lots of messages like the one you showed. 

The solution was to temporarily disable the centos-release-cr repo, then upgrade, then re-enable CR again:

  yum remove centos-release-cr
  yum update
  yum install centos-release-cr

I assume the reason is that the CR repo for 6.0 has been pulled with release of 6.1 whith the catalog still in place.
