replying to myself here...
apparently in checking packages one by one, php-mcrypt is required by
the Horde packages but is not part of the upstream php packages and so
it's an issue but there wasn't any warning about that. So removing it
would dependencies should have allowed it to update but it still balked
so I downloaded the various php packages from updates and did a yum
localinstall which did indeed work and now I'm out a php-mcrypt package
(probably not the most important thing anyway).
yum update does seem to pass the initial test and it's presently
downloading packages so I've got my fingers crossed.
Obviously 'extras' is a far lower priority than getting out 5.3
