This is not a YUM issue per se, but rather how the mysql RPM was installed. Is there a mysqld running right now? Have you rebooted? The error is usually seen when the old daemon is still running. Also, the start/stop scripts might have changed enough that the new script cannot stop the old daemon, or the old script cannot start the new one. I've been through similar issues before.
