Hi,
I've had same problem on two rawhide machines, one last successfully
updated sep 19, one sep 20.
I've had to BOTH uncomment 'baseurl=' and comment out 'mirrorlist=',
then `yum clean metadata; yum update` to get an update, and floods
updates came in.
Since it was on two machines, I don't think it was purely cockpit
error on my part, but you never know.
I'm bleating here (fedora-test-list) because I don't know where to
else to bleat, and it has been mentionted here recently...
<bleat>It seems strange (but I admit ignorance) that there is only one
mirror for rawhide (berkeley, ca, usa) and it is almost a week out of
date.</bleat>

You could try building your own mirror list, using the official Fedora
list at
http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html copy as many
mirrors you like to either the fedora-development.repo or another file
to have the mirror list point to. Might take some messing with, but not
too much.
