It seems that there is a possible problem with your repo configuration. That is, it is attempting to install a 32 bit version of the binary package, even you are probably running a 64 bit version of RHEL. I suspect you probably will encounter this problem as well with other packages. If you are not using Satellite, you probably need to review you repo configuration and ensure that it is pointing to a ISO, CD or repo with the correct 64 bit binary packages.
In other words, the issue is not specifically puppet, but with RHEL.
