Do you maybe have a version of kernel-debug installed?
No earlier kernel-debug version was installed. None of the other systems I updated required kernel-debug.
Did "yum clean all ; yum remove kernel-debug", which yum did without complaints or dependency issues, then ran "yum update" again and no updates were found. Sounds like another yum oddity as Filipe suggested.
