Yum hunts for mirrors and some mirrors are not current at the time yum 
checks these mirrors. Try running yum -y update again, maybe twice until 
it hits a mirror that is current.

up2date has been crippled since the libssl.so.4 to libssl.so.5 
transition. It was busted before up2date was upgraded to use the newer 
versions of libssl.so.5

I cut down my usage of up2date to rare occasions and use yum 90+ percent 
of the time now.
