Try this:

  # yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=sl --enablerepo=sl-security update

You might also consider to add --enablerepo=sl-fastbugs.

With this approach, you first disable all repos and will only add the official 
SL repos.  That should hopefully get you through the worst part.

Otherwise, have a look in /etc/yum.repos.d ... and use rpm -qif <repo-file> to 
see where this file came from.  If it's something you've added manually, you 
won't find a match.  Otherwise, it's usually coming from a package somewhere.

My experience is that rpmforge/rpmfusion and elrepo repositories often cause 
conflicts, so if I need them I have them disabled by default.  This might be 
because I'm often depending on the EPEL repository too.  YMMV.
