Mine has:
mirrorlist=http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/mirrors/k12ltsp-5.0EL-$basearch
You should expect an error. There is a conflict where one of the Centos
update rpms has added a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/99-fuse.rules which
was already included in a k12ltsp package (this is always a risk when
using 3rd party repositories).
A workaround is described here:
