Additional info:
I've tried to use yum-plugin-protectbase but did not find the magic incantation to make it protect the rhn repos.

Does the yum-plugin-protectbase work in RHEL 6?

I have looked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436043 and http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0195.html but that's for RHEL 5.
Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2011-08-25 15:58:14 UTC 
May need to retire this package since it has been added to the baseos in el6.1.
Comment 2 Giacomo G. Brussino 2011-08-31 16:53:53 UTC 
Since that has not been done yet, how do I protect the rhn base in RHEL 6 from EPEL?

Thank you.

The el6 branch has been retired, the package retired in pkgdb and a rel-eng ticket created to remove/block the package, https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4911
