No solutions, but some things to try.
Did the clean all really "clean all"? /var/cache/yum/...
Here: Before clean all:
ls /var/cache/yum/base cachecookie headers packages primary.xml.gz primary.xml.gz.sqlite repomd.xml
After clean all:
ls /var/cache/yum/base headers packages
headers and packages were both empty.
You might also try updating just yum. The latest is:
yum-2.4.2-2.centos4
That being said: I've also had to edit the conf file to use the baseurl and not the mirror list. Just to get through a rough spot, then reverted back (fedora/rawhide).
Also, as a workaround try excluding policycoreutils. If that gets you through any other updates, then it's something specific about that file. You could then download it and install by hand.
Any messages in the syslog? Network errors, or AVCs?
It's interesting that policycoreutils was the first header when I ran yum this morning.
