Hmmm

Was it ever in
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/17/x86_64/ ??

I "accidentally" by-passed the problem!

I maintain a partial updates repo (ie only updates of the packages
installed on my machines)

I brute force down loaded redhat-lsb-4.1-4.fc17.i686 from
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/17/i386/
and stuck it in my repo

createrepo -q --update $local_repos/$installed_release

yum update

I had/have very little knowledge of "multiarch repo compose"

I initially reported the problem here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824305
but then back tracked as I thought it was my finger trouble
