It's possible, at least it use to be possible I did it before but I no longer do it and haven't since I updated to CentOS 7.
You may have to install some 32-bit libraries for compatibility, I do not remember.
32-bit libraries will install on 64-bit CentOS.

You can install and run 32-bit Skype on 64-bit CentOS 6. I recommended the Nux repo[1] for convenience. The various 32-bit dependencies will be installed by yum.

The old 32 bit version in the Nux repo won't be working for much longer as skype is changing it's protocols. There is a new 64 bit alpha version you can get directly from skype that works:
https://repo.skype.com/https://repo.skype.com/
The instructions for yum works, and after that just: yum install skypeforlinux

Your solution only works on CentOS 7. The OP is trying to install Skype on CentOS 6. The Skype package requires
[root@peach ~]# yum install skypeforlinux Error: Package: skypeforlinux-1.12.0.4-1.x86_64 (skype-stable) Requires: libgnome-keyring
[root@peach RPM_REPO]# yum install libgnome-keyring-3.8.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.x86_64 Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.i686
On CentOS 6 the package is named gnome-keyring. On CentOS 7 the package is named libgnome-keyring. libgnome-keyring is not available on CentOS 6 so the package will not install.

Oh, I thought he was trying to install on CentOS 7, but I wouldhave still given him the same advice with the caveat taht I hadn't tried it on CentOS 6 and don't know if it depends on anything too new for C6.
[root@peach ~]# yum install skypeforlinux Error: Package: skypeforlinux-1.12.0.4-1.x86_64 (skype-stable) Requires: libgnome-keyring
[root@peach RPM_REPO]# yum install libgnome-keyring-3.8.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.x86_64 Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.i686
On CentOS 6 the package is named gnome-keyring. On CentOS 7 the package is named libgnome-keyring. libgnome-keyring is not available on CentOS 6 so the package will not install.
This might not be much of an issue. Possible solutions:
1. Rebuild the skypeforlinux package with rpmrebuild.
2. Create a small dummy package that requires gnome-keyring and provides libgnome-keyring.
3. Force install skypeforlinux. I would only recommend this just to test the package out before trying 1 or 2 above.
Personally I would try force installing the package first (yuk) and see if it works. If it does then I would do (2) above so that updates would install without having to repackage each time.
