yum -y update at %postinstall

[Japheth Cleaver]

Perhaps there's a connection issue going on while downloading? We do 
something similar, except we copy over a yum.conf pointing to our local 
mirrors first, and it usually works fine.

--- snip ---
wget http://mirrors.redwire.net/pub/yum-redwire.conf
cp -f yum-redwire.conf /etc/yum.conf

echo "* Updating our system..."
/usr/bin/yum -y update
--- snip ---

Perhaps try downloading and running a script as part of the %post process, 
copying over a yum.conf with a high debug value, and piping it to a log 
file and see what results you get...
