This looks like you are using "Zenwork update", sometimes that does not work.
So apparently you did not follow the above recipe. If you really use Yast, and 
Yast alone, you don't get this error. At least I did not get this error, and 
I succeeded using Yast to update NX and qtnx.
In Yast you add a repository by going to "Installation resources", clicking 
"Add", chosing HTTP and after that inserting "software.opensuse.org" as the 
server and "download/NX/openSUSE_10.2" as the directory.
Then you go in Yast to Software, search for "nx". Then I saw some text lines 
in blue, meaning that a newer version was found. Click a number of times on 
the checkbox in front of the blue text line until you have the update icon 
there. Then click on Accept.
