Any resolution to this?

I get the same

make sure yum-utils is installed,
yumdownloader raspberrypi-kernel
rpm -Fvh raspberrypi-kernel.armv5tel 0:3.2.27-1.20120926git9245b4c.rpfr17

yum is (probably) seeing it as an 'installonly' package like the kernel would be on a normal x86_64 system so you can keep 3 in case of issues. It doesn't work like that on the rpi though.

setting installonly_limit=1 or messing with the installonlypkgs setting in yum.conf might also help, but I can't say for sure.
