How about grep rpm ?
If rpmq is there and you it could takes more than 5 minutes to resolve
dependencies {especially if cpu is slow, or ram less than 384M}, then
you might need to nuke rpmq.
Can you update a single package eg yum update yum ?
You can add debug logging to yum with
# yum -d15 update yum
