I'm puzzled.
If you have in base channel, let say:
 mysql-server-5.0.0
and in child channel
 mysql-server-5.5.12
- which is btw correct and allowed scenario - then yum should prefer
that 5.5.12 version. The reverse situation (wanted 5.0, but not 5.5)
will be tricky, but your situation should work without problem.

What error you get from yum?
