Do you think you're mixing enough 3rd party repositories there?
You've got 2 that I wouldn't touch at all... ATrpms stable, and ATrpms
testing. ATrpms has a nasty reputation for replacing system packages,
and generally being unstable (meaning you can quickly wreck your
system using it).

This looks like the rpm-libs package its trying to update doesn't have
a matching rpm for rpm. I'd say that this is likely due to the number
of repositories you're using, and likely a direct result of mixing
ATrpms with all the other repos. This goes back to what I mentioned
earlier about doing destructive things to your system. It's not a
problem of yum, etc.. but rather the expected result of mixing so many
repositories, and in particular 2 very unstable repos.
