Everything is fine now, but after seeing the email I tried to update 
several machines in different locations (some near Chicago, some near 
San Francisco) and only one found them.

It just seemed like an odd change in the package naming but I suppose 
you are just passing through the upstream change.  I did copy that from 
the wrong place,though - before the update the package is:
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.21.b17.el5
and after:
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.22.1.9.8.el5_6
