Found the issue. We were trying to install the update on an AWS EC2 instance, where the base AMI we were using had had `pip install urllib3` done at some point. The confusing error message did not point at the correct resolution to the problem, but one of the team found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187057 on a Google search, and doing a `pip uninstall urllib3` resolved the problem for us.
Thanks Kevin, that did the trick for us as well.
Confirmed the pip uninstall urllib3 followed by yum update -y completed the updates successfully.

Fixed, had to manually remove the packages from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages and then yum install python-urllib3 worked
@Mark thanks its worked...:)
