Whenever I've run into some type of 'yum upgrade' dependency problems

do an 'anaconda upgrade' that for whatever reason these problems don't
seem to get in the way of anaconda being able to upgrade the system.
I was interested in the answer to that so I asked on fedora-devel: see

I figured anaconda was doing --nodeps in order to get through all the
dependency hell. Running from a separate environment gives it the
latitude to be able to do that as they pointed out. Essentially anaconda
operates in "rescue mode" and performs operations against the installed
system while the installed system is not running. Makes sense and
explains the difference in behavior.
