When a package exists in two archs, like glibc, rpm/yum needs to update
both at once. Normally this isn't a problem since I will hatch both at
once but apparently your machine only found the newer x86_64 package.
Have been pushing a lot of packages in the last week or two so a mirror
has probably glitched. Instead of waiting while it sorts itself out I'd
suggest manually grabbing the packages and running rpm -Fvh [packages]
on em.
I wouldn't recommend removing the i686 version, a lot of things will
break. Even a 'pure' 64 bit install needs a couple of i[36]86 packages
and glibc seems to be one of them. Plus any 32bit packages you have
installed would certainly stop working, like OpenOffice.org, Quake3,
etc.
