OK ... the problem is that .WB2 is seen as newer than the new RPMS.

do this ... download all the rpm-xxxxx-4.2.3-21_ntpl programs and put
them in a separate directory ... the try:

rpm -Uvh rpm-xxxx.rpm rpm-libs-xxxx.rpm rpm-python-xxx.rpm

listing each new RPM on the rpm line.

---------------
After you finish this, you might want to run a command like this:

rpm -qa | grep WB

and

rpm -qa | grep -i white

and 

update any RPMS that still contain whitebox or .WB with their CentOS
equivalent.
