( this issue along with the 'existance of more than 1 instance of the 
same pkg name' has been discussed previously a few times, look through 
the recent archieves for the relevant .rpmmacros etc )

firstly, check what mirror you are using in 
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo  - make sure that is responsivle ( and 
  local to you - check http://www.centos.org/mirrors for a list of mirrors )

Then remove all files from the /var/lib/rpm/ directory except the 
Packages file, and run

rpm -v --rebuilddb
yum clean all
yum update yum
yum update kernel* audit*
reboot
yum -y update

Let us know how you get along.

PS: is it just me or are lots of  people on the list TopPosting :(
