Have you updated you yum-conf file and/or your /etc/redhat-release file?

The change to sl-release and yum-conf was to update to the new GPG key 
that we are now using to sign rpms.

Can you try to upgrade these manually via yum and send back the error 
messages.

yum update yum-conf
yum update sl-release
