I'd check the /var/spool/cron log to see if it's actually running
properly. After that I'd check the maillogs to see if there was a
delivery problem.

Try that again, but tail -f /var/log/maillog in another window (if
there's not alot of mail traffic on that host) to see if it's
generating any mail logs

What are the permissions on /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl?
Check to see if any updates were applied to logwatch recently (yum
info or rpm -qi logwatch) and check your logwatch config files to see
if anything changed there.
Hope this helps,
