try using strace -p PID-OF-YUM and output to mailinglist
Here's the last few lines of strace:

It hangs there.
Significantly, this 'rpm' command hangs also:
# rpm -vv -V rpm D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0
So the problem may well be with 'rpm'.
