 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I was trying to upgrade the kernel ...

This is us, not webops.

The work around is the following :

1) yum -y remove yajl-1.0.7-3.el6.x86_64
2) yum -y update
3) puppetctl run (to get back collectd with the right deps)
4) reboot.

What does puppet log when step 3) is run? This may be something we can fix in the manifests.

Richard,

I think the issue here is that the epel.repo file on this server is not under puppet control and didn't contain the exclude=collectd* .  

As well, I am in the process of upgrading collectd.  Which will avoid this issue in the future.
