Yes - but I think I know how it happened.
first things first
go int /var/log
look for rpmpkgs that will be a list of rpms on your system
you'll need to get those pkgs then get the list of them that AREN'T in
your db already
then run rpm -ivh --justdb --noscripts on each of them.
that should let you install all the stuff back into your rpmdb.
I would also like you to disable that version of yum you have installed.
For the moment.
