My very quick work-a-round would be to append the line exclude = *.i?86 to your /etc/yum.conf file, then perform a yum clean all command and finally retry the installation. Basically & quickly (as it's 0134 hours in my local time as I type this), a 64-bit system will also install 32-bit package for compatibility reasons. Those of us who desire a "pure" 64-bit system will, post install: (1) add that above "exclude" line (2) execute a "yum remove \*.i\?86" command I'm sure there are others around who can expand on that.
