what you are seeing is a problem with the server you are communicating
not giving you a complete download. The newer yum versions check to
make sure the file is complete before using it to prevent. I STRONGLY
suggest you configure a mirror to use that carries the development
branch, the default server is heavily loaded and will continue to be a
poor performer.  But in the mean time... use a web browser or an ftp
client and download the yum available in the development branch and
install with rpm on the commandline.
