Thanks for the feedback and I acknowlege that yum is not the problem.

I did try to exclude evolution-data-server and it doesn't help.

I also removed evolution-data-server which shouldn't have been possible if 
gnome-panel depends on it (I guess). Even when evolution-data-server isn't 
installed it complains about the dependency and it doesn't add 
evolution-data-server to the update/install list to satisfy the dependency.

Different mirrors have different content so the behavior varies by mirror. I 
also installed the latest evolution-data-server-1.1.5-3 and performed an yum 
update which, on some mirrors, results in an older version being listed as:

<snip>

Performing the following to resolve dependencies:
   Install: gnome-python2-extras.i386 0:2.9.3-1 - development
   Install: gnome-menus.i386 0:2.9.90-2 - development
   Update: evolution-data-server.i386 0:1.1.4.2-1 - development

I know the bug is being addressed and I know that the mirrors are not under 
Redhat's control. I guess it's just rawhide.
