I did a freshly Fedora Gnome desktop live install off the latest RC and 
it came with samba-winbind-clients-3.5.5-68.fc14.1.i686

When I did yum install samba-*  all samba packages and related 
dependency offered to me were i688 arch.

Since I'm unable to duplicate it looks like you have installed some 
other package that was x84_64 and may have required samba which then 
would pull in the relevant samba x86_64 packages?

Does the yum history/log share some light on this matter?

The installation log might also contain useful info.
