It looks like you have both 32 and 64 bit version of glibc and one of them can't update. I'd double check that you have both the 32 and 64 bit versions available in the repository that you are updating from.
rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n'|grep glibc
will tell you the arch of the glibc packages.
I'd also clean out the yum cache (rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*)
