I have Fedora 16 installed. I'm facing some in issues when updating yum.
Error: Protected multilib versions:
flash-plugin-11.2.202.233-release.i386 != flash-plugin-11.1.102.55-release.x86_64

This should solve your problem:
$ sudo yum upgrade --setopt=protected_multilib=false --skip-broken

Try adding --enablerepo updates-testing to the command line.

I was running into the same problem.
What I did was disable the adobe repo, based on this post fedoraforum. Then I removed the flashplugin. yum remove flash-plugin Then I reinstalled only the 64bit version of the flash_plugin (install).
This seems to be working for me now.

I have encountered this problem myself.
So, the thing is that the 32 bit version (i.e. i386) is not the same as the 64 bit one.
I needed the 32 bit version, so I had to manually do a yum update on each lib that I needed, so that the 32 and the 64 bit versions match the same version (i.e. 11.2.202.233 vs 11.1.102.55).
Hope it helps you

1This is generally a bad thing to do, even says so in the output from this.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems).– Vern Burton – 2013-10-11T20:24:12.010
