Guess its frozen. On older logs (last week) cron.hours logs as running at 6am, 7 am etc. Ok so whats in /etc/cron.hourly. Nothing. There are none. Wonder what changed in the last couple of weeks to make this suddenly misbehave. I kiled yum-updatesd - its never worked anyway - yum-cron and running by hand never fail. Maybe that will help. I can run a rpm --rebuilddb as well for good measure. thanks ..
