Well, first of all, you shouldn't use RH repositories for CentOS, those
are separate. Whether that matters I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't
risk it.

Secondly, I think you should start by running yum clean all and get any
cached information removed. I think based on the link you posted that it
must be a vestige. The dependency info it's deducing for the package is
from the RH5 version because the sonames are different than what v6
includes. No question that is the issue.

I would assume the clean command would fix it, but if not, that's more of
a yum question. Once you've contaminated the system with bad package info,
I'm not sure how else you can dump it.
