It should be looking at /6/ instead of a specific point release. We (CentOS) do not provide updates for individual point releases. You are several years behind in security and bug-fix updates. Once a specific minor version is expired, it is moved off the main mirrors and into the vault. The current iteration of the /6/ tree is 6.7, so everything below that is no longer available on the mirrors. Have you modified your repository files or are they stock?
I might suggest starting off with a 'yum clean all', then running your query again.

I have inherited centos 6.3 and 6.2 vms in an esxi environment. When I do
yum provides ntpd
on the 6.3 box I get a lot of errors like:

Why am I getting these errors? I installed 6.4 in virtualbox and the .repo files seem the same, except the 6.3 box didn’t have a fastback.repo file.
Also why is it looking at 6.4 repos above? When I see:
cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
i.e., this box is 6.3. Shouldn’t it be looking for 6.3 repo info?
Thanks,
