Try the following:

rpm -q --queryformat \
'%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH} Vendor: %{vendor}\n' nss

I get the following:

nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64 Vendor: CentOS
nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.i386 Vendor: CentOS

That looks like what you have. So the question then is what requires the 
2.el5 release?

That's strange because the version is the same, it is nitpicking over 
the release. Unless there is an epoch involved, it seems some package 
somewhere might have a release specific requirement, which is suppose to 
be a nono.

Try yum --exclude=nss update

and see if it tells you what package is bombing out on the upgrade.
