What's the full output?

3.el6_4 is a rather recent update.

That would be justified, since such a multilib conflict means
that there's a non-arch-specific dep on neon somewhere else and that
the update is incompatible. Attempting to resolve the broken dep,
the dependency resolver finds that the previous i686 build satisfies
the dependency. Hence it tries to pull in the i686 build.
