To solve these problem, I have to manually install the newer i686 packages in "i686 updates" repository. Is there anything wrong in the build system that lacked those i686 packages in"x86_64 updates" repository?

Thanks for the report, this is now fixed on the master mirror and will
be syncing to all the other mirrors shortly.  The following multilib
packages were added to the updates/x86_64/Packages directory:

libvirt-client-0.9.4-23.el6_2.1.i686.rpm
libvirt-devel-0.9.4-23.el6_2.1.i686.rpm

nss-pkcs11-devel-3.12.10-17.el6_2.i686.rpm
pidgin-devel-2.7.9-3.el6.2.i686.rpm
sssd-client-1.5.1-66.el6_2.1.i686.rpm
xorg-x11-server-devel-1.10.4-6.el6_2.1.i686.rpm

Better still, the faulty compare to copy multilib items into x86_64
(which was not seeing any packages) was fixed as well, so this should
not recur.

Thanks,
