You're using local time in the BIOS clock. Change your hardware clock to
UTC with
hwclock --systohc --utc
Then run timeconfig and check "Hardware clock set to UTC".
Next reboot, all should be well. Servers (and linux machines in general
that don't have to run Windows) should always be configured this way.

Since Red Hat 7.x, the shutdown process sync's the hardware clock to
system time, but in 6.2 that didn't happen.
