The best way to remove duplicate package is using rpm itself and the --justdb switch. This will only remote entries inside the RPM database and not on the filesytem itself. If you remove the newest version of the duplicate packages you can run the yum update again and it will reinstall the newer versions and all should be good.
might also want to look at the package-cleanup script included in yum-utils....
