Hello,

With SL 5.9 there have been a few changes.  The release notes are a good 
reference but here are the highlights relevant to your questions:

  - The yum-conf-5x package can now be installed along with yum-conf 
unlike previous versions of SL5.  This is the same behavior as SL6.
  - You should be ok to disable the sl-security repo so long as you 
leave sl5x-security enabled.
  - The closed source java package was not added to SL5.9 as it is going 
end of life at the end of this month.  SL6 has not never featured the 
closed source package.
  - The yum-conf-adobe package depends on the adobe-release package 
provided by adobe.  It should have been loaded for you automatically.  
This seems like you hit a bug.  If you install yum-conf-adobe you should 
be fine.
