fftw changed the package structure completely and is now currently
being pushed to stable:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-6879/python-anfft-0.1-4.fc17,fftw-3.3.1-3.fc17

In this case you definitely don't need to uninstall fftw, just wait,
till it's in the normal updates repo and you won't see this again with
'yum distro-sync'.
When an update is rejected in updates-testing, it won't ever made it
to the proper updates, so you'd need the distro-sync to properly
remove it.
