The problem is that you don't have the same "most updated" version for 
xen and xen-libs. You appear are updating xen-libs to 5.5.4, but xen 
5.5.3 installed in your system require xen-libs 5.5.3.

For fix this situation, you need xen 5.5.4, or xen 5.5.5, since your 
"yum list all | grep xen-libs " output show as available the xen-libs 
5_5.5 package.

In any case, you need same version for xen and xen-libs.
