Is there any chance you are going through a proxy server?
I have the environment variables:
ftp_proxy
http_proxy
FTP_PROXY
HTTP_PROXY 
set to our proxy server.  I suspect yum does not use them
all, but I have not tryied to narrow it down. Also, the
yum.conf file allows you to specify a proxy server there too.
