you have enableRollbacks turned on for some reason. Set
that to 0 in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and it will stop
creating repackage rpms (aka, rollback rpms)

details about the packages (aka, name, version, release, arch) of
whats installed, and what it's trying to install. a `rpm -qa`
from before the attempted update would be very handy. (aka,
info to reproduce this)
