You'll probably need to send more details to get a good answer.  You
might start by doing a "yum info mono-core" to see if it really did
download an updated header.  It should give you information about the
installed package and any available packages.  You probably should
send you yum.conf file, or at least say what repository you are trying
to use.  The "yum update <pkg_name>" is the right command to update a
package, something else is going on.  Also, you might try browsing to
the repo you are trying to use and try to locate the package manually
to see if it is actually there.
