Well, another solution is "delete 1.7 GB of data". You could for
example remove -devel packages (and definately debuginfo if you have
any):
yum remove \*-devel \*-debuginfo
and if that doesn't give enough space, consider temporarily removing
some applications to free up enough space to do the update, then put
them back after, e.g.:
yum groupremove 'Office/Productivity'
Check for huge logfiles in /var/log and delete or compress old ones,
etc.
