On the x86_64 systems I am bumping into this quite a bit:

These packages are trying to write out the same man pages or other
docs to the exact same file. It would seem that there needs to be
some type of versioning related to documentation so that you could
have multiple versions of the same package installed. The next
question is how do you get around this problem. I've had to use 'rpm
--force' to get by this type of problem. Is that the only solution?
It depends on the pkgs involved in the error:
if the pkgs are different versions and different archs then you need
to get the same ver of both archs. If you STILL get the error then
you have found a packaging bug and need to report it to whomever
provided those pkgs.
hope this helps.

If you do:
yum install PKG # want x86_64 version
sometimes you will get the file conflict error because the existing
PKG.i586 is not at the same version as what is in the repository for
PKG.x86_64. So I think yum should see that and schedule an update for
PKG.i586 and then the file check would succeed. Right now you have to
deal with this manually.
Here's an example:
