Why yum want to install software that I do not need?

Hi all,
I see some strange behaviour on yum update.
It seems that yum thinks that I need some uneeded software.
Today this is the problem:
yum check-update

This should be OK, and I think that it's all that I have to do to bu updated.
But if I run yum update
yum update

Where I'm wrong?
Why I have to install for example evolution-data-server for i386 when I have only evo for x86_64?
and why I need meanwhile or other thing?
Or better, why yum check-update didn't say that I have to upload more software?
Tnx
