[CentOS] Trouble with 5.2==>5.3 upgrade

I've updated two 5.2 systems without a hitch. But this third one is
giving me some grief. See errors below.

Googling for "Package does not match intended download" turns up a bunch
of hits, but none of them (that I've seen) offers any working solution.
 
Can someone suggest how to overcome the following error(s)

Thanks a bunch!

I've tried several times, one of the retries I re-did "yum clean all"
to see if I had bad metadata, and it re-downloaded ALL 250 packages
again but still encountered the same error. I tried again using "yum
clean metadata" and that didn't help either.

Advice appreciated.
