Try using the command:
rpm -q --whatrequires gtkhtml VFlib2 compat-gtkhtml3 libsepol-devel
If it comes up with a list of not-so-important things, then you can
likely yum remove them and then try your upgrade again.

Sometimes packages are not so complete with their "Obsoletes" list and
leave packages hanging around that depend on old libraries that have
updates and this ends up blocking the upgrade.
