Actually, you could simply run yum update again. If your configuration
is calling for a mirror to connect to, you might simply have connected
to a mirror site that was not up to date yet. Running yum again may
point you to a different mirror that might be updated already. If that
fails, wait an hour and try again. Usually no need to reboot the whole
box.
