is it possible that you have extras set at a different priority than
base ... you also have the protectbase installed along with priorities
(not recommended).
You should have these settings for [extras], [base] and [updates]
sections in CentOS-Base.repo:
priority=1
protect=1
You should also (after properly configuring your repo files), use
yum-priorities and remove yum-protectbase.
