Coming in late on this thread, but... 

  1. Can you point your repo's at a different URL?
  2. Have you tried a 'yum clean all' first?
  3. Try disabling everything _but_ the update repo, doing yum clean
     and then yum update.

     yum clean all
     yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates update
