I ran into this once recently, when I hit Ctrl-C at an inopportune moment while yum was running on that window. Like you, thought it was the RPM database that was corrupt, and like you did the same thing to no effect. # yum clean all had no effect either. To resolve, I deleted all the contents of /var/lib/yum/. It's kind of heavyweight, but it resolved it. You may try simply deleting /var/lib/yum/history/* first, and see if that's sufficient (assuming you don't need to be able to have yum roll back completed transactions to some previous state). If not, try deleting yumdb/ there. There may be a better way to handle this, but I'll let the yum experts chime in then.
