This section tells yum to look for the updates files in the os repository, which contains only the packages at the time of release of the version.

Either change the baseurl setting to

Code:

baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/i386/

or use the mirrorlist= directive instead. mirrorlist would look for a mirror close to your location resulting in better download speed. Your baseurl= setting tells yum to always download from the main CentOS website, which might be a lot slower.

The same is true for the other sections (extras, centosplus,...)
