I had a similar issue albeit with a different error message - I found relevant clues at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-16881

I'm wondering if something in iptables changed with the 5.3->5.4 upgrade. I actually manage the system remotely via ssh, and it's obviously letting me in. iptables forward/routes packets per the firewall rules, and *some* outgoing connections work fine (e.g., the housekeeping connection to the yum repo--it does query the repo, learn what's new, and validate its oficial RedHat entitlement to updates). It just can't download them. And, outgoing ssh/ftp/other connections also fail. I expect I'll need to find a set of hands on site to shut down iptables and see if that clears it.
