I don't think anyone said http://...nvidia. Better read the instructions
again. You need to do two things, in order:

1) Tell yum to include the Livna repository in the list of places it
looks for updates. You do this just once:

        rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm

2) Use yum to update your system. You do this any time you want to make
sure your system has all the latest versions of stuff you already
installed:

        yum update
        
and optionally a third thing:

3) Install a special kernel module for Nvidia cards (this may pull in
some other stuff, just answer Y when it asks you):

        yum install kmod-nvidia

Followed by a reboot.
