That sounds like fedora is the one that doesn't think the system clock
is UTC. Try running system-config-date (as root) and see if the
checkbox for system clock in the timezone tab is set correctly.

For that matter check the timezone too. Maybe it is simply set wrong
so the time you see if off rather than the actual time on the system
being off.
