I also saw this yesterday during dracut testing. My system was F11 and I tried
to update to rawhide. What I did was:
# yum update yum rpm
# yum update yum rpm --enablerepo rawhide
# yum update --enablerepo=rawhide

The first update of rpm and yum updates xy-libs IIRC wich allowed the second and
3rd update to pass.

Hope this helps,
Alexander.
