There is nothing in 6.1 CR, your machine does not seem to see the
updates for the i686 arch, although the x86_64 directory does contain them.

Do you have an exclude=*.i686 someplace in your yum setup.

The same directory that contains dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 also
contains dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.i686.rpm ... you are seeing one
(x86_64) and not the other (i686).
