I have a similar setup on a CentOS box.  In my case I'm using the centosplus
repository as I needed newer versions of MySQL & PHP.  The main CentOS repo
config file '/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo' has an entry for the
centosplus repository & lists specific packages that should be included.
Here's the relevant lines:

#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
enabled=1
priority=2
protect=1
includepkgs=php* mysql*

The repo is enabled so I don't have to keep using the '--enablerepo=' switch
when running yum.  More importantly the "includepkgs=" line includes only
those packages I want from the centosplus repository.  Those same packages
are excluded from the base entry:

[base]
priority=1
protect=1
exclude=php* mysql*

You'll have to adjust the repo name / config & desired packages for your
setup, but see if this doesn't help.
