I have tried rm -rf rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/*_db.* and rebuilt my rpm package database but that didn't move the needle on this problem
That actually won't do anything for yum. Try:
yum clean headers
If that doesn't resolve, try:
yum clean all
Also, verify that your /var filesystem is writable and has a few gig of free space.
