Best Answer
You wouldn't have EPEL or some other repositories installed on here would you? If so, it's behaving like it's trying to update MySQL with the MySQL install in one of your other repositories rather than the one in the CentOS repos. Also before you do anything else, backup your MySQL databases with:
...for each of your databases. Because there are other repos involved, you can never be sure if they'll wipe out your my.cnf or your mysql data directory. Better be safe!
Disable your other repos temporarily and then perform the update.
Check in
CentOS has version specific repos and it's important you have your installation set up for the correct repos otherwise you'll get more of these conflicts. This particular problem could be a result of:
...being set next to a third-party repo or your primary repos having
...so the software they update isn't protected from being updated by third-party repos.
Hope this helps!
