Yikes!  OK, well that is your problem.   Notice that you have some repos 
that do not belong on a BlueOnyx system: epel, extras, updates.

Recommendation:  remove those repos from your YUM configuration, do a 
yum clean all, then yum update.

The version of phpMyAdmin you should be receiving is that which is 
included from the "BlueOnyx-520XR" repository.   You should not be 
attempting to yum in a package from external sources, as that is 
unsupported.

As noted in the readme for BlueOnyx YUM repos:
------------------
Do NOT tie your server into third party YUM repositories UNLESS they are 
certified for BlueOnyx.

Third party YUM repository servers (*especially* RPMforge!) replace 
onboard RPMs with versions that conflict with BlueOnyx. That will then 
break the GUI and will cause service outages.

The damages that this will cause may not be easy to repair.
------------------

True, that!
