In other words older PackageKit-glib-0.6.2-0.1.20100225git.fc13.i686
is brought to satisfy indirectly dependencies for PackageKit-qt, as
a corresponding version of PackageKit-glib.x86_64 will be gone due
to updates, and things cascade from there through a chain of
dependencies.  That despite that even this triggering package is
eventually skipped.

If you would skip those yourself for a time beeing then, most
likely, you will not see those attempts to add i686 packages.
