OK - then search the directory /etc/yum.repops.d
for a repo file which describes the _local  repo.
and either
1-  delete it
      OR
2- edit it and append to it
enabled=0.
If it already has
enabled=1
then change 1 to 0.
     OR
3- If the _local repository is a directory on your system, then
     remove the 6r bit version of the offending rpm from that local
     repository.

I think it is generally not a good thing to h ave local repositories
because no matter where you obtained them from, there will
always be more recent versions on the original server.
Also, it usualy a very bad idea to mix repos from Mandriva or Suse
(and other distros) with Fedora because  of dependencies.
