As I pointed out in an earlier thread, there was a bug on the package
update system.  The problem should be resolved shortly.

You don't have to delete the package, though; you could do this:

yum --exclude=NetworkManager\* update

You can add additional excludes as needed, too:

yum --exclude={NetworkManager\*,foobar} update

That's parsed by the shell into the following:

yum --exclude=NetworkManager\* --exclude=foobar update
