You've hit an incomplete mirror or your yum metadata isn't quite
right. It's correctly seeing the most recent update for boost (the
1.53.0-8 package), but an older version of the static package. The
most common cause is the packages are still being rolled out, but this
update seems to have been 23 July, so that's not the case. You might
want to try a "yum clean metadata",
