Thank you,
I have reported this BZ:
Bug 1302198 - remote package upgrade saying newer package is installed, but it is not
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1302198
Please as a workaround use remote command with something like `yum -y upgrade openssl-0.9.8e-37.el5_11` which should work for now.
Thank you again,
Jan
