Thanks, this is indeed an issue and we've been trying to get it fixed
since last week. Unfortunately it is not so simple, but I hope RPMs will
be available later this week.

There has been an issue identified with the automatic package gathering
that is done before the RPM signing happens and packages get pushed to
the mirrors. It seems that i686 packages are included under the x86_64
repo, and that is not what we want. The CentOS guys are trying to figure
out what the best approach is to prevent that.

In the mean time, you can enable the testing repository, those are the
(unsigned) packaegs that were expected to be available on the mirrors:

  # yum --enablerepo=centos-gluster36-test install glusterfs-server

Once the packages are on the mirrors, I'll send a note to this list
again.
