If you have yum-utils installed, if you haven't already done so, you can run the command
package-cleanup --problems
If this shows no problems, as seems likely from your comment above, run
yum-complete-transaction
It will look for transactions that didn't finish and try to complete them. PackageKit actually uses yum under the covers, so it should find any from packagekit also.
If that doesn't work, why not try another update? I don't recommend "yum clean all" in this case as that will remove all the packages you've already downloaded at such cost. Cleaning the metadata ensures that you get new repo data.
yum clean metadata yum update
This should work because yum doesn't actually update any packages until all the packages are downloaded and it has run a transaction test.
