What version of yum? I'm sure I already asked you but I'd appreciate it
if you could let me know, again.

It shouldn't have any problem with that at all. I've checked on some of
my x86_64 machines running fc2 and yum 2.0.7 in my office and they're
getting glibc updates for both i686 and x86_64 by doing a yum update.


If you have a specific failure code or something you can cut and paste
that might help some.
