I don't have any answers for you, but I am having similar problems.

Occasionally, when attempting to install a package that has dependencies
on other, uninstalled packages, yum claims that the other packages are
not available (even though I could run yum separately and get them).

For example "package A" is dependent on "library B".  Neither are
currently installed.  When I "yum install" package A, it says that
"library B" is not available even though it'll show up in the "yum find"
results.  It's not pulling in the dependencies automatically
consistently.
