Did you use these entries?  They have changed w/ the 'new' yum

>From rpm.livna.org:


For yum >= 2.1.3, new yum repository style (metadata):

### See http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraSources
### And insert here the fedora.us repository configuration

### And then add theese lines to access rpm.livna.org repositories:
[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
gpgcheck=1

[livna-unstable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (unstable)
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.unstable
gpgcheck=1

[livna-testing]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (testing)
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.testing
