Yum appears to be trying to update

geronimo-specs = 1.0-0.M2.2jpp_7fc

to

1.0-0.M2.3jpp

but, geronimo-specs-compat (that is installed) requires the old version, 
and does not appear to have a new version that will work with the new 
geronimo-specs. Try doing:
yum remove geronimo-specs-compat
and see if it has any dependencies to remove.
