Looks like a new, signed rpm file has been propagated around.
Unfortunately they didn't bother to bump the RPM version number so yum
kept on getting some internal error with "range not satisfied" (from
memory).  

Rummaging around /var/cache/yum and removing the old tcpdump* files
fixed things, but then users shouldn't have to rummage around cache
directories to get a distribution screw-up back on track.  This is the
sort of thing that makes new users say "linux is too complicated."
