Oh yeah, I remember that error. Happened on pretty old boxes and at one point 
during one of the updates they might get stuck on this. 

Using this commands as root will fix it:

rpm -e php-imap php php-mysql php-mbstring php-pear php-gd --nodeps
yum install php-imap php php-mysql php-mbstring php-pear php-gd
yum update

This basically removes all PHP related RPMs, re-installs the latest versions 
of them and then you can run the "yum update" just fine.
