Yes, I see the pkgs in the list on the browser.

I have found that if I disable
   fedora-base-repo
and
   fedora-extras-repo
then yum works and I brought in kernel 1806 and 2 selinux pkg updates.

When I re-enable the above 2 repos, I go back to the problem of can not 
find the baseurl  (due to the search order it reports failure to find 
'base', but if I disable 'base' then it reports failure to find 'extras')
