I understand you ask the list for help because you're stuck, but why have
you stopped with your examinination of the problem when you've found out
that i386 is not what you want? If you've used Yum to install the plugin,
what repository configuration do you use for that? At Adobe's download
site for Flash for Linux, you can fetch the adobe-release-x86_64 package.
This is what you should get:

$ rpm -qa | grep flash
flash-plugin-11.2.202.425-release.x86_64

$ rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo 
adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch
$ rpmls adobe-release-x86_64
-rw-r--r--  /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
-rw-r--r--  /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo
