A guess:  At some stage, some kernel modules or kernel-version-specific
drivers got installed with a prior i586 kernel, so it wants to update
one i586 kernel with the next one.  Even though you've also got i686
kernels.

You could try removing all the i586 kernels.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.
