can be caused by many things, usually it is a somehow messed up rpm database with double RPMS installed or another problem. Maybe sometimes it just happens, it has been so since at least RH8.
Tip: The best way to reduce the likeness of this yum futex problem happening is to remove the __* files that exist on the /var/lib/rpm directory before executing yum.
It will not completely eliminate the futex problem, but will drastically reduce them.
I have now upgraded 30 production servers and several dozen workstations and have had no problems at all.
About 12 servers here, and no problems.
