Only with the full output one can draw conclusions. Some further below.

Correct, but during the "yum update" it shows whether there are
updates. And since there are updates for the two packages you queried,
it doesn't become clear what requires the old packages.

Because it no longer sees them if there are updates to these pkgs.

Please show:

  rpm -q yum perl-version perl-Pod-Escapes kdevelop-libs

(or package-cleanup --dupes  if yum-utils are installed)

Somehow I think you may have duplicate packages installed.
Some oddities in your yum output:

These two make no sense as the new "perl-version" and "perl-Pod-Escapes"
require the new "perl = 4:5.10.0-30.fc9" (note the release 30) and not the
older installed one (22). These packages are built from the same source
package. They belong to eachother. The dependency on the old 22.fc9
release does not come from the updated packages.

The same happens to several of your Perl packages. Please show
that you don't have multiple releases of those packages installed.

Same here. The new kdevelop (release 2.fc9) is seen, but an
installed old kdevelop-libs requires the old kdevelop although
there is a new kdevelop-libs (release 2.fc9). "rpm -q kdevelop-libs"
must not return two packages.

There are tools to help with duplicates ("package-cleanup --cleandupes")
or incomplete transactions ("yum-complete-transaction"). Also make
sure you've got the latest Yum ("yum -y update yum").
