Apparently, that would be because that package has not been signed. 
Perhaps this is because the package is in a testing repo, or a 3rd/4th 
party repo that doesn't sign their packages.

After you determine the nature of the signing (ie you are very sure the 
package you are wanting to install is legitimate), you could use 
--nogpgcheck (at least this is available on current yum).

Another alternative would be to see if your yum has a --skip-broken 
option either built in or via a yum-plugin-skipbroken, and then yum 
update --skip-broken. Or you could specifically exclude the unsigned 
package with an -x package parameter.
