You do have i686 packages on that machine ... that is what the error you
posted is.

create (or edit( a file called:

/root/.rpmmacros

put this in the that file as the top line:

%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}

Then do the command:

rpm -qa | grep i[3,6]86

That should show you the i686 packages that are installed on the machine.
