I had the same trouble and after removing both the rpm and hdr file
in my local /var/spool/up2date dir.  Then up2date/yum fetched a good
one and things installed fine.

In my case it was the src rpm file.  I did not save the bad file
so I have no way to see what the trouble was.

Move your troubled .rpm+.hdr files  off to a scratch dir and 
give it a retry.
