Does yum sometimes forget it's release version?

It shouldn't, unless the distroverpkg definition in /etc/yum.conf is wrong, or the package that distroverpkg references is out of date.

What do you have listed there, and what's the output of rpm -q whatever-package-it-is ?

in /etc/yum.conf there is 'distroverpkg=redhat-release' listed.

# rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1

Everything seems to me ok so far. Maybe this is a problem with my squid server? I will test this.
