It seems as though one of the updates did something to NTP
I switched my servers over to rdate
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/rdate-1.0-1.i386.rpm
saved my ntpdate.auto
mv etc/cron.daily//ntpdate.auto /admin/save/
Changed /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate.auto to 
#======= file ntp.auto ===========
# set my clock at 4:00 am
rdate -s <your-ntp-server> && hwclock --systohc
#============= end ==============

I also put this in my rc.local to set time when system boots up
# set system time
rdate -s <your-ntp-server>  && hwclock --systohc

Seems to work OK, you may want to try it.
