Query your RPM database for kernel related packages:

  rpm --query --all 'kernel*'

If you don't see "kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl" and "kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp",
you need to erase the old nvidia kernel module, e.g. with

  rpm --erase kernel-module-nvidia-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl \
    kernel-module-nvidia-2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp

before you could update. If that's not it, post the output of your RPM
query. In your Yum output I don't see anything related to kernel or
nvidia modules. Hence I assume you've got broken dependencies in your
installation.
