I have a couple machines running 5.6 fully updated from cr repo. When I did 'yum update' this morning it found 8 updates: centos-release-5-7.el5 centos-release-notes-5.7-0 ghostscript 8.70-6.el5_7.3 nspr 4.8.8-1.el5_7 nss 3.12.10-4.el5 nss-tools 3.12.10-4.el5 ntp-4.2.2p1-15.el5 initscripts-8.45.38-2.el5
However yum reported 404 on everything but ntp and initscripts. I installed ntp and initscripts individually and yum continued to report 404 on the rest of the updates on both machines. One machine i386, the other x86_64.
I did a 'yum clean all' followed by 'yum update' and it installed centos-release and centos-release-notes but not nss, nss-tools, ghostscript or nspr updates.
[]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
[]# rpm -q nss nss-tools ghostscript nspr nss-3.12.8-4.el5_6 nss-tools-3.12.8-4.el5_6 ghostscript-8.70-6.el5 nspr-4.8.6-1.el5_5
Both machines had identical results and appear to be fully updated to 5.7 but with at least four packages not updated. I don't think this is an intended result.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

these are all updates released in the last 2 days, I suspect you were just hitting a mirror machine that did not have the entire rpms/ content in sync as yet.
If you continue to see this issue, please open an issue report at bugs.centos.org and provide some details about what mirrors your machine is hitting ( usually, the fastest-mirror's timedhosts file is a good thing to check for this info )
