You might try to open a root terminal and run yum clean all. Maybe there 
are old headers left over since the time you last updated that it is 
using as reference to packages.

After cleaning up the headers, you might as well try running yum update 
from the CLI since you are already there. You will probably get more 
descriptive error outputs from the output of yum if it still fails.
