Try running these two commands:
rpm -V redhat-release
rpm -qc redhat-release

The first will show you what files in redhat-release have changed (any 
with a "c" are config files), the second will show you a list of all 
"config" files in redhat-release.

Probably it's because you modified /etc/issue or /etc/issue.net.

I don't know why it doesn't just install and put the updated files in as 
/etc/issue.rpmnew and/or /etc/issue.net.rpmnew, though.
