I'am experiencing same exact issue with upgrade on RHEL 6.4 and vdsm for 
oVirt installed.

However, I did a little searching, and for me it seems it is like this:
vds requires these glsuterfs packages to have the latest version:

glusterfs
glusterfs-api
glusterfs-cli
glusterfs-fuse
glusterfs-libs

In RHEL repository are these packages are with version 3.4.0.36rhs-
1.el6.x86_64 EXCEPT for glusterfs-cli, which RHEL repo doesn't have at all.

oVirt repo has all those packages with version 3.4.0-8.el6.x86_64, which is 
older than RHEL repo packages.

Hence, there is conflict. During vdsm update or even installation on RHEL 
6.4 it tries to install the latest of all those packages. Looks likes this:

glusterfs-3.4.0.36rhs-1.el6.x86_64
glusterfs-api-3.4.0.36rhs-1.el6.x86_64
glusterfs-fuse-3.4.0.36rhs-1.el6.x86_64
   requires: glusterfs-libs-3.4.0.36rhs-1.el6.x86_64

glusterfs-cli-3.4.0-8.el6.x86_64
   requires: glusterfs-libs-3.4.0-8.el6.x86_64

While this is not fixed, in my opinion, ovirt installation from repository 
on RHEL 6.4 is essentially broken.
