Sounds like you did the update in the middle of or an only partially complete sync, or the sync didn't finish and so primary.sqlite.bz2 is newer or older than other parts of the repo. Make sure your rsync runs cleanly, and then try again. Does your rsync have --delete-delay --delay-updates ? If not, that should at least reduce the window of a partial sync in the future.

Subject: yum update failure for 6x x86_64 - [Errno 14] Downloaded more than max size
Hi All:
This morning, I am trying to perform a "yum update" from our
rsync'd copy of the Scientific Linux 6.x x86_64 repo, and ran into the
following error:
