If you would try something for me:

take the daily release of yum from 10/05:
http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/daily/2.0/yum-2.0.3-20031005.noarch.rpm

update to that, then try the same command.

this might be a depresolution bug OR it could be an incomplete dep in
rawhide (incomplete deps in rawhide can happen)
