Are you on x86_64? FC6 has a native x86_64 version of openoffice, but 
FC5 had an i386 version even on x86_64 installs.

See what you have:

$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n' openoffice\*

If any i386 packages show up, you could try "yum remove"ing them and see 
if that helps.
