Any ideas why there is such a dependency hell? It's a server host, I don't need any GTK stuff etc.
yum install openssh-*

The GTK stuff is pulled by the openssh-askpass package which is a graphical front-end for asking the user for the password.
You asked yum to install it when you ran the command:
$ yum install openssh-*
If all you need is to update the already installed openssh packages, what you actually want is:
$ yum update openssh*
Also note that if you use a dash between openssh and the star it will not include the base openssh package which you probably want. In this particular case it would probably be updated because of the dependencies, but I think it's good to point out the difference.

It is an unfortunate 'feature' of trying (on some level) to be MS-Windows-ish: providing a GUI interface (of sorts) to openssh. 'openssh-askpass' is a GUI thinging for asking for a password for slogin/ssh/scp/etc. If you don't need openssh-askpass, then you should not install it. You can either edit your yum.conf file to exclude it or instead of:
yum install openssh-*
do:
yum install openssh openssh-clients openssh-server openssl
