Is this the problem ^^^^^ /var/cache/yum/updates/packages exists and has same owner/perms as all the other dirs in the cache folder, although the double backslash looks suspicious to me.

you have something quite broken on the machine, check for non centos s/w installed, and rpm -V check the installed pkgs, specially yum and python and all the bits they need.

how about drive space / permissions etc ?

I think I have it solved. A backup script was munging a directory in the yum cache. This run seems to be going without error.
