It's not uncommon for an x86_64 package to have a 32-bit companion, but 
you're right: in this case it appears as though gimp.i386 was installed 
at some point (though I don't think I explicitly installed it from an 
i386 repo).  It was correctly updated as recently as a week ago.

I removed gimp.i386 and ran yum update successfully.  Thanks.
