Are you sure this is FC6? Your error refers to fc5 packages. FC6 comes
with poppler-utils-0.5.4-5.fc6

I remember I've checked Fedora <= 6 for conflicts a couple of times
over the past months.

Make sure you enable the updates repository to really get the latest
released packages, including the latest from Extras.
