Failed to update kernel because of dracut

Hello ;)

I am running CentoOS 6.6. Today I've noticed an update to kernel version 2.6.32-504.30.3.el6 and tried to install it, but have a problem with dracut:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
.. install failed!

I tried yum install dracut, but there is no updates.

Does anybody knows how to solve it? Thank you in advance.
