I've had this exact same problem, and I uninstalled yum reinstalled it
and it work for a day and then back to the same.  I've also had it
working temporarily by doing a yum clean-all then yum makecache.  But
next day it went back to doing the same old hang up.  I'm not sure if
this is a yum problem or a centos problem.
