Remove the [base] and [updates-released] entries because they are
duplicates of the versions in /etc/yum.repos.d

This will fix the "Repository updates-released already added, not adding
again" and "Repository base already added, not adding again" warning
messages you got above.

You could try doing the update in smaller batches of packages and then
addressing the issues that are left.

e.g.
# yum update yum
# yum update xorg\*
# yum update gnome\*

For the troublesome packages, which versions are available and which
versions do you currently have?

# yum list openoffice.org\*
# rpm -q openoffice.org openoffice.org-libs openoffice.org-i18n
openoffice.org-kde
