Update would be easier to understand here

In general I agree, however, if you use rpmfusion they sometimes (last night)
update kmod and akmod modules before the kernels move from testing to updates.
* analyze what deps are failing
Definitely, these things can mean your mirror was updating, or that your rpmdb
is hosed somehow.
* consider to wait a few days
Indeed, this is the road to success in most cases, updates are not atomic,
network issues are seldom the case, TCP is fairly good at detecting a bad packet.
* if it is not solved after a few days by newer updates write bugreports
Again good advice.
What I do:
early in the morning the system can run "yum --downloadonly upgrade"
When I start my day, I check the results, the RPM packages are now downloaded, I
can run the real upgrade after I check for possible issues. That moves the time
waiting for downloads out of "my time."
