The workaround for this sort of thing is to do something like the 
following:

yum list updates > updates
vim updates (or your favorite text editor)
insert a #! /bin/bash at the top
record a macro that converts each line to yum -y update package-name
(the lines sometimes wrap because names are so long)
chmod +x updates
./updates

This takes longer to run because dependency checking is done on every
package. But it does the job.

Alternatively, you could just change it into one large update with the
offending packages removed, and backslash continuation on each line.
Much faster runtime.

Or you could just wait and contemplate the fact that in windows these
updates would be months off. :-)
