looks like yum gets the $releasever "3.92" for fc4test3, 
and there is no 3.92 extras dir on the server.
i guess this should be the "development" dir for fc4test, so
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/$basearch/
in the extras .repo file located in /etc/yum.repos.d/
should do it.
