After and bit of digging, it appears to be down to a change of a default setting in yum with CentOS6 The yum config option multilib_policy is now 'best' in CentOS6 - in CentOS5 it is 'all' - which means CentOS6 will only install the x86_64 version if both a x86_64 and i686 RPM exists in the repo I guess if I want to revert this back to 'all', I'll need to hack anaconda to add 'multilib_policy=all' to the temporary yum config file.
