Where do you see instructions to update ovirt-engine? You cannot update
it directly because it's version-locked. This is done to ensure that
you do not run a newer engine with an older database - the main task
engine-setup does during an upgrade is updating the database.

Didn't it tell you that there are updates to Setup and that you should
first 'yum update ovirt-engine-setup'? Probably during your attempts
you did update it.

Great :-)

engine-setup searches for both updates to the engine and to Setup itself.
If it finds updates to Setup, it tells you to manually update it with yum.
If it finds other updates it asks you to confirm updating and then updates.

Most probably you did update ovirt-engine-setup at some point.
If you want to further debug this, please look at and/or post your yum.log.
