I haven't had any such problems using up2date with the public yum repos
at fedora.redhat.com. I also grab a nightly rsync from Duke U. for use
inside a private network at work, and that also seems to work just fine
for the handful of Fedora machines that rely thereon. I try not to mix
updates-released and updates-testing usage on the same machine; I don't
know if that's relevant to the OP.
