Since you are mid-transaction, you should at least try:

yum-complete-transaction

This is the safest route.  

If that fails, you might be able to use yum history to back out the last 
transaction, but that probably would fail because you’d have to download and 
install the packages in the previous release, which might not be available 
anymore.

You can also use:

package-cleanup —cleandupes

… to clean out any duplicate packages that might be both installed.  

This has happened to me more often than I’d like to admit.  Usually because I 
didn’t start the yum update in a tmux shell and one of the updates caused the 
SSH connection to fail.
