At this point I don't think it even matters.  You need to just get back
to the simplest configuration possible.  That means:

  * Remove ALL plugins
  * Disable ALL third party repo's.
  * Do a yum clean all
  * Revert to the default CentOS .repo files
  * Revert to default yum.conf file

If it works in this configuration, you can start adding things back one
at a time.

Maybe you've already tried this, I don't know.  It's been a long
thread. :)
