Do you see it saying that it's trying to connect to one of the mirrors and it's getting stuck there or does it get past that part? I don't think you were coincidentally able to hit ctrl+c while it was trying to connect to one of the centos mirrors, I think it really is getting stuck there, i.e. if you run the strace -ff command without sending it to the log file does the strace -ff seem to hang or does some output continuously keep looping? What does it hang on or what system call does it keep looping on? You may also just try running strace without -ff so it doesn't trace into other threads. Did yum clean all finish properly?
