As I said, I'm not an expert;  but I don't think skip-broken would help. 
  Unless you really need the packages marked as 'Error' I would expect 
that you could update with them disabled (I use yumex for that, but 
gurus would use the yum cli).   Or you could try it a few steps at a 
time.  yum should keep things legitimate.  But I can't recommend those 
actions without a BIG disclaimer.  Maybe someone else could comment, but 
mainly this list is used by early-adopters using F22.
