I think the above solution assumes the original poster has a good 
working /etc/yum.conf, which may be the case, but if not, then a sample 
one is available at this url:

But back to the OP's question: as another respondant said, the situation 
is related to the mirrors not being in synch just yet. This is a good 
time for a bit of patience, as it may take a while for them to get in 
synch. So, the OP may want to go have some lunch, mow the grass, or pay 
some bills, and launch the up2date application later on today. The 
mirrors will have the updates by then, and up2date will take care of 
business!

Hope this helps,
