Removing ipstate does not create a conflict because you have nothing else installed that requires it. Installing ipstate after you removed it is simply reinstalling the same version ("yum upgrade" was *not* trying to upgrade ipstate). If there was no conflict before, there isn't one now. If you remove ipstate, you would then be able to upgrade libnetfilter_conntrack. If you then tried to install ipstate you should see a conflict. This happens occasionally with updates, either due to mirrors taking time to sync, or due to human error in creating updates. In either case, the solution is to just wait a while (for the mirrors to sync, or for new packages to hit the repositories). In this case, the fix is already on its way to the repositories.
