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:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
- base: mirror.unl.edu
- extras: mirrors.cmich.edu
- updates: mirror.steadfast.net
http://mirror.unl.edu/centos/6.4/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22
I fixed the problem for now by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repy, commenting out:
mirrorlist=
then finding a local university that has /6/ repo data and uncommenting and using:
baseurl=
I’m not sure why this box was having issues reaching mirrorlist.centos.org http://mirrorlist.centos.org/ or even tracerouting to it???? It kept getting a different trace than my 6.4 virtualbox.
I finally just did yum update on this box (actually 6.3) and now it is 6.7. During the update it created a CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew file. I renamed my current one and this one to just .repo and now I again get:
----

Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base

I thought updating to 6.7 might fix something, but it didn’t help. Any ideas why it is doing this?
If I go to:
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock
in a browser, it shows a list of repos.
Thanks,
