Ok, that looks good.

That looks good as well. Still: When your YUM connects to ....

http://updates.blueonyx.it/mirror.php?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch

... to fetch the list of mirrors, it usually should substitute $releasever 
with "6.1" for SL-6.1 and $basearch with the architecture. Which is either 
"i386" for 32-bit systems or "x86_64" for 64-bit systems.

So in your case the URL would look like this:

http://updates.blueonyx.it/mirror.php?release=6.1&arch=x86_64

That would then return the respective list of mirrors and the paths where the 
updates are located for the given platform and OS level.

But apparently that's not working for you. Why? I don't know.

So do this please:

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/BlueOnyx.repo and uncomment this line:

baseurl=http://updates.blueonyx.it/pub/BlueOnyx/5106R/CentOS6/blueonyx/$basearch/

A line below it is the line that starts with "mirrorlist=". Comment that out 
by putting a "#" in front of it.

Save the changes and then try a "yum update" again.
