I have only ever seen this when I truly did need more space on my filesystem. What does df -h have to say?
Don't forget that downloading all those RPMs will have eaten a bunch of space (in /var/cache/yum ... maybe time for a clearout of any ancient, already installed RPMs in there...)
If you find a bunch of ancient packages mixed in with ones you just downloaded, running this from the directory in question will just nuke ones older than 5 days (change to suit taste).
rm -f `find . -name "*.rpm" -type f -mtime +5`
Otherwise yum clean will zap all these package caches for you automatically to recover space.
