Just as a general thought, what happens if you increment the package
release number in a "sub release" fashion?

Something like from this:

  ksh-20100621-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

to this:

  ksh-20100621-2.1.el6.x86_64.rpm

I don't know that would work, but if it does, it *might* fix the problem
without blocking newer releases.  (though you might not want those
anyway)
