The message seems pretty clear, you are missing space in that directory, due to:
1 - it isn't part of /var where you think it is, or
2 - yum is downloading so much crap it fills /var, or
3 - you have some odd permission problem, or
4 - you are out of inodes, df -i is your friend
What to do:
The "downloadonly" option allows you to pull down a few items at a time and see
what filesystem is filling up. Pull down the parts a few at a time until you see
the problem.
You can also remove old rpms already installed, or obsoleted.
