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

I think I already have a standard answer.

VirtualBox-guest is VBoxGuestAdditions for Fedora itself , if you install VirtualBox as Host, you can't install VirtualBox-guest . VirtualBox-guest is just to install under a vm guest system . Therefore we conflict this 2 packages deliberately .

rpmfusion doesn't provide VBoxGuestAdditions for others OS , you have to download it , you have a button for that in VirtualBox, vm manager menu . 

Conclusion don't install VirtualBox-guest

yum instal kmod-VirtualBox VirtualBox , should be enough , I think you won't need python-VirtualBox VirtualBox-devel and VirtualBox-kmodsrc
