There is a known issue with the new version of yum on RHEL/CentOS 5.2 ...

You need to specify the packages like this:

yum install <package_name>.x86_64

not

yum install <package_name>

If you do not specify, then yum can install both (or either) of i386 or 
x86_64 packages to meet that requirement.
