I'm just "reading by" but if I understood you correctly you installed a 32bit rpm of the 2.3 version (which you missed to tell from the beginning) and now yum wants to "update" to a 2.0.4 64bit rpm version. I think you missed a vital point - there's no connection between the 32bit and 64bit packages, it will never attempt to "update" a 32bit package to 64bit. What actually happens is that it updates the installed older 64bit package to the newer one. It doesn't matter at all if you have a 32bit version installed or not. It's just a mystery why those packages are not shown in your rpm -qa run. But it's clear that yum thinks they are installed.
