Actually I had this issue also and was two of the same package (same 
arch and all) one was the older version that was supposed to be 
removed.  Also, reading through this list I see that several people had 
the same issue.  Perhaps there was a rawhide update that caused yum not 
to complete the update process thus never getting to the clean: stage.
