Just got this message after an autoupdate on my 5.x system.. should I be worried?

Hi, This is the automatic update system on mail.<xxx>.com.

There was a problem updating the system. The following error message was reported:

["[('file /usr/share/man/man1/ca.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5.i686', (7, '/usr/share/man/man1/ca.1ssl.gz', 0L)), ('file /usr/share/man/man1/req.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5.i686', (7, '/usr/share/man/man1/req.1ssl.gz', 0L)), ('file /usr/share/man/man1/x509.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5.i686', (7, '/usr/share/man/man1/x509.1ssl.gz', 0L))]"]

If the problem persists, manual intervention may be required. Thank You, Your Computer

Your systems are trying to update only x86_64 packages, and not i686 ones, for some reason. It may or may not be related to pushed updates and mirror errors someone reported, since I do not see those versions of packages on my own local mirror.
