Hey there! What happens if you run the classic combo of these commands:

yum clean all
yum makecache
yum update

 

[hmaddy]

No change. same error

Since this issue isn't related to cPanel, you might need to reach out to your hosting provider to have them check the issue.

Is the output in your first command all that is shown when you run "yum update" ? If so, it looks like there could be issues with the system packages causing this problem.
