You have the correct sqlite packages now, but you have the old 
python-sqlite3 package.  You'll need to correct your package version and 
you'll have to rebuild yum against the new python-sqlite package.  
Anyone who hasn't done any of the sqlite updates will need to also 
download and install the new sqlite-3.1.2-1 packages.  Download the 
following:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.3.1-1.src.rpm

Run the following commands to correct the problem:

rpm -e yum
rpm --upgrade python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm
rpm --install yum-2.3.1-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

Edit the yum.spec file and change the require line from python-sqlite3 
to python-sqlite

rpmbuild -bb yum.spec
cd ../RPMS/noarch
rpm --install yum-2.3.1-1.noarch.rpm

That should get yum going again.
The problem is that the yum package has not yet been updated to reflect 
the name changes from sqlite3 to sqlite.  I would imagine this will be 
resolved quickly.
