Can confirm that we saw the same issue on our servers.  Apache isn't 
shutting down properly and then can't start back up again as the old 
processes are still bound to ports 80 and 443.

Or if patching manually (which we do for some customers) we switched to...
  service httpd stop && yum update -y

I imagine this is an upstream issue?
