You need to comment out this line in /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo
(under the [openvz-kernel-rhel6] section):

exclude=vzkernel-firmware

i.e. it should look like this:

# exclude=vzkernel-firmware

Additionally, to get rid of possible future problems, you can also
edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo, adding the following line
under [updates]:

exclude=kernel-firmware
