Yum uses the repodata to determine what is available, not the rpms
themselves. Also, it caches retrieval of the metadata for 15 minutes by
default, so newly mirrored info is not immediately avail {yum clean
metadata}.

yum -d 15 whatever to check it is really accessing the correct repo
servers etc.

Since there is a -devel installed, to be able to update to a newer main
package, there also needs to be a newer -devel available in the repo.
Same applies to python-tools/tkinter.
Can you give the actual output of $ yum list python* tkinter ?
