yum groupinfo "FTP Server" says that vsftp and "Base" ...
Base is the minimal install Recommended.
It wants to install all those i386 packages as requires for Base ...
I would recommend that for a server you put a:
exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686
in yum.conf and only install i386 packages if absolutely required by
your server.
(I would also see if I could remove other i386/i586/i686 packages.)
