OEL public-yum can't install i386 packages for x86_64 & oracle-validated

Trying to install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on OEL 5.4, both are x86_64.  I
initially used the oracle-validated package from the OEL public yum
repository to install what I thought would be all I need (at least,
that's my understanding of the purpose of the oracle-validated
meta-package).  However, the grid installer said I needed i386
packages for libaio-devel, unixODBC and unixODBC-devel.  Trying to
install these via yum as well, I get the errors at the end of this
message.

I'm able to wget the files using the same URLs and install them via
rpm command, and the grid installer is satisfied.

So my questions are two:

1. Why couldn't yum just fetch & install these files?

2. Why wouldn't oracle-validated for x86_64 install these files when I
was initially setting up the OS?

Here is the hurt:
