yum claims there are no updates

If a yum update reports there are updates when it is clear that there are, try unregistering the system with the repository and re-registering. If that fails you might have a corrupt yum cache. Yum downloads items into cache, and then checks it going forward. If this is corrupt, then it will break updates. This fix is to clear out the cache by emptying the contents of /var/cache/yum and /var/spool/up2date.
