I would say it's either a problem with your mirror, or with your local
cache.

Try "yum clean all" followed by the same update again.

I tried it here (different mirror) and it worked for me:

$ sudo yum update glibc

Usually when I see this error, it's because folks have excluded the
i386/i686 packages, but still have 1 or 2 installed. It's either that
or a stale mirror as another already pointed out.
