Ouch. Is this with updates repository enabled, or not?

Yeah, if there's a conflict between packages that are all dependencies,
no flags will help. The RPMs need to be fixed.

This, and the above, probably needs to be brought up with the MATE
Compiz spin team, and possibly MATE upstream. The spins page gives
