When you pipe that through "sort", then it becomes obvious:

#> rpm -q|grep python|grep sort

audit-libs-python-1.8-2.el5
beecrypt-python-4.1.2-10.1.1
dbus-python-0.70-9.el5_4
libselinux-python-1.33.4-5.7.el5
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.21.el5_9.2
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.el5_5.1
mod_python-3.2.8-4.el5
python-2.4.3-27.el5_5.3
python-2.4.3-56.el5
python-devel-2.4.3-27.el5_5.3
python-elementtree-1.2.6-5
python-iniparse-0.2.3-6.el5
python-libs-2.4.3-56.el5
python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1
python-urlgrabber-3.1.0-6.el5
rpm-python-4.4.2.3-20.el5_5.1
rpm-python-4.4.2.3-32.el5_9

Or more clearly:

libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.21.el5_9.2
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.el5_5.1

python-2.4.3-27.el5_5.3
python-2.4.3-56.el5

rpm-python-4.4.2.3-20.el5_5.1
rpm-python-4.4.2.3-32.el5_9

These three python related RPMs are listed twice in the RPM database.
With different version numbers.

So remove the newest ones and try to YUM update again:

#> rpm -e --justdb libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.21.el5_9.2
python-2.4.3-56.el5 rpm-python-4.4.2.3-32.el5_9
