When you tried the url directly did you make the necessary
substitutions for "$basearch"? It needs an architecture and then some
additional pathing to get to packages.

After adding the C6.10 entries to the Vault repo did you turn off the
entries (e.g., set "enabled=" to "0") in the non-vault
repos? If you
don't yum will still try them. The CentOS-Base.repo is on by default
so you'll either need to add the "enabled=" line to each of the
entries or otherwise disable the repos.
