Were you sitting in the /var/spool/postfix directory when you did the rpm?
I saw the same and I was in my user home directory when I executed sudo yum update.
No, but on line 534 in ./glibc-2.5-20061008T1257/fedora/tzdata-update.c there is a reference to /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime. I'm not quite sure what tzdata-update is supposed to be doing, but I suspect this line is causing the denial. Now whether tzdata-update should be messing with postfix files or not is another question...
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-25
This bug should be closed!
In deed.
