Check out a sample of what it's saying needs updating.

Do "yum check-update" to get a list of the packages that need updating.

For some of those packages, do "rpm -q packagename" to see which version
you have installed. Compare that with what yum is suggesting to install.
Is the version yum is suggesting later?

Which repositories are the majority of the updates from? Have you
enabled a development repo by mistake?
