I haven't figured out the right way to deal with this, but I did just 
last night finally purge an upgraded system of its 32-bit packages with 
something like:

rpm -qa | grep '86$' | sort | xargs --verbose rpm -e --nodeps

And then ran:

   rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

and:

   package-cleanup --problems

with successful results.  So far so good, yum runs well again.
