rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/*_db.*

I have tried rm -rf rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/*_db.* and rebuilt my rpm
package database but that didn't move the needle on this problem

That actually won't do anything for yum. Try:

yum clean headers

If that doesn't resolve, try:

yum clean all


Also, verify that your /var filesystem is writable and has a few gig
of free space.
