That's something different and the reason why packagers make more
dependencies arch-specific. (For the depsolver, the older i686 packages
are sufficient when resolving dependencies.)

For the redhat-lsb breakage, Yum could notice that redhat-lsb.x86_64
cannot be updated (because of the "protected multilib versions" error) and
exclude it, then proceed and manage to apply other updates.

It might be that it doesn't handle "protected multilib versions" errors
it its --skip-broken mode.
