What do you see when you run "yum list libuuid"?

Of course, if I try to downgrade these packages then yum complains
that other packages have dependencies on these versions. Is
there some way to get around this?
These packages are supposed to be in sync _in_ the x86_64 repository _and_
in your installation.
In other words, if libuuid-2.17.2-9.fc13.x86_64 is installed already
(according to one message you quoted), the corresponding
libuuid-2.17.2-9.fc13.i686 is found in exactly the same repository.
What can happen, though, is that temporarily you are assigned to a mirror
repository that offers older packages. Then, if your installation is
x86_64 only, there would be problems in adding non-matching i686 packages.
That's why it is important to run some yum/rpm/repoquery queries and examine
the current state of your installation _and_ the used repositories before
one can decide why you encounter problems.
