It is a broken multi-lib dependency.
In repository "fedora-7-x86_64" (i.e. the "Everything" repo for x86_64)
there are three i386 koffice-foo packages which require something that
isn't available in the combined set of repositories for F7, F7 Updates
and F7 Test Updates.
koffice-core.i386 with version-release 1.6.2-3.fc7 is not seen anymore
in these x86_64 metadata.
You cannot remove old multi-lib packages from the repos (unless
rel-eng supports doing that on request). You can only upgrade packages
with proper dependencies.
Most likely the koffice-1.6.3-9.fc7 update you mention upgrades the
koffice-core NEVR to 1.6.3-9.fc7, and no updates for the three i386
packages or the new koffice-core have been copied into the x86_64.
