I ran 'yum clean all' and it reported 4 metadata files removed but
afterwards I again ran 'yum update' with the same result.
I appreciate any insight you can share.

A safe starting point is "yum clean all", but sounds more like your
mirror list is pointing to a server that is not available, has dropped
CentOS, or changed the path. Check all the servers in your config
files. I like to use a local mirrorlist and/or hand-configure nearby
and fast mirrors with baseurl=... in the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files.
If you want more detailed help you need to supply more info on your
configuration.
Phil
