Sigh.  As I said, I edited the repo to point DIRECTLY to 6.9 and got the same result.  Care to explain that with some other policy?  Even then, DOWNLOADING the RPM still will not install.  Is there a policy for that too?

Well this is interesting.  The latest version of sudo
is sudo-1.8.6p3-29.el6_9.x86_64.  Mine is sudo-1.8.6-7.el6.x86_64.  The
issue here is that this box is CentOS 6.4 and I can't fully update it to
6.9.  But I can't simply update sudo by itself:

[root@secure nnsops]# yum update sudo

That's a good call on checking it, but I don't understand why I can't
simply yum update sudo.  I can download the package and update it, but I'm
at a loss as to why I'm not seeing it even when I run just 'yum update'. I
swear, I just don't understand how these systems were left not updated for
years.  This box is currently 6.4.
This is CentOS. See CentOS updates policy: https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-dcca41e9a3d5ac4c6d900a991990fd11930867d6
