Just in case you should (I think) check first if you have duplicated
packages installed. 

You can do that with "package-cleanup --dupes", package-cleanup is part
of the yum-utils package. If you have duplicated packages you have to
try to remove the redundant ones (the older ones probably). 

That would be my starting point...

Hmmm, yes, probably you have a "halfway" updated system. 
Do a "package-cleanup --problems" to see what are your current dependency problems.

What if you do a "yum list glibc*"?
