Chris, the error was narrowed down to 
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-116. See 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1054350

selinux was denying rpm access, but wasn't logging it for some reason. I 
saw no output in any of the logs while reproducing the error. 
selinux-policy{-targeted}-3.12.1-117 fixes the problem at hand, and can 
only be applied with selinux in permissive mode. while in enforcing, the 
update fails.
