I use up2date for key retrieval initially and then stick with yum. Yum is quirky from time to time but I've brought my machines up2date with it and you can too. Try following these simple steps:

1) Start fresh by flushing out your possibly corrupted cache:
[root@secure ~]# yum clean all

2) See if you can get a complete list of what is available for update:
[root@secure ~]# yum check-update

3) Get the updated yum package and nothing else:
[root@secure ~]# yum update yum (NOTE-If headers are slow to download from a particular mirror, so too will the packages! If so, answer NO when yum asks for confirmation "Is this OK? [y/N]" and try again beginning with [root@secure ~]# yum clean cache)


4) Grab only a handful of packages at a time keeping in mind that when headers come in slowly, so will the packages from that mirror. Clean yum frequently (see #1) and avoid the one-liner update for the whole system. If all this fails you may want to direct your questions to the appropriate list or distribution specific user forum.

Best of Luck,
