Mind that you need to exclude a number of packages from the updates 
repository or the installation will fail. Add:

exclude=yum yum-updatesd rpm-build rpm-libs rpm rpm-devel rpm-python 
rpmdevtools popt kyum

to the [updates] section of your yum configuration file. Note that it 
should be one single line.

If this doesn't help, please let us know what the actual error is you 
are getting.

Kind regards,
