What's the cause of these dependency errors?

With the discussion about FC6 being dead, I thought I'd do a last yum
update of my beloved FC6 laptop.  (The last one was 6th December.)
For some reason new versions of the 3 packages

 kdenetwork-extras
 kdebase-extras
 kdeutils-extras

are not being pulled in and yet packages they are dependent on 

 kdenetwork
 kdebase
 kdeutils

are getting replaced with later versions.
This appears to cause the dependency errors.

In addition, the package "kde-settings-kdm" (which I have on the
machine) now appears to need package "kdebase-kdm" (which I don't
have).  But `yum install kdebase-kdm' returns "Nothing to do".

I've included a transcript of the yum update for your inspection.
What's the fix?  Am I missing a repo?

Thanks.
Dean
