I typed  as root: 
[root@hpferpo fernando]#  yum upgrade tcl tcl-devel 

and I got the previous message
Comment 2 Zdeněk Pavlas 2013-03-20 12:29:15 EDT 
The installed tk-devel package requires a certain tcl-devel version, so it barfs when you try to upgrade it.  You must update both packages in the same transaction.

It's a bug in the sense that Yum should have figured this sooner, and not after downloading the packages and running the transaction check.  I'm 99% sure it's fixed in RHEL6.
