This means that the RPM sausalito-palette-0.5.1-94BQ2 is installed. That 
means:

Name: 		sausalito-palette
Version:		0.5.1
Release:	94BQ2

The one you tried to install is:

Name: 		sausalito-palette
Version:		0.5.1
Release:	0BQ10

Only newer RPMs can be installed during updates and the one you *have* already 
installed is reported to be newer than the one you're trying to install.

Now THAT doesn't really make sense, because Project BlueQuartz never released 
a version of that RPM with this release number. So this RPM that you have 
installed there must come from a third party - not sure which. 

Could you please run this command and report back its output?

rpm -q --info --changelog sausalito-palette

That will show some info about the RPM. Like who built it and what changes 
were made.

Alternatively you may want to "force" our RPM to be installed over the one you 
have. In that case you'd run this command:

rpm -hUv --force 
http://d2.smd.net/RPMs/5102R/sausalito-palette-0.5.1-0BQ12.centos4.noarch.rpm

(All in one line)

That installs the latest version of that RPM and forces the RPM installer to 
install it over the (allegedly newer) RPM you already have there. Usually 
this shouldn't cause any conflicts, as the sausalito-palette RPM is somewhat 
uncritical.
