Just for the heck of it I decided to try this. I updated my system, then
disabled the Livna repo, and ran :

# yum list extras > Extras
# rpm -qa |grep lvn > Livna

The two resulting files are completely different. Specifically, the
Extras file contains amost nothing from Livna (most of the packages
listed are from fc9). As an example:

# grep gstreamer Extras Livna
Extras:gstreamer-debuginfo.x86_64               0.10.19-1.fc9          installed
Livna:gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras-0.10.7-1.lvn9.x86_64
Livna:gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.7-1.lvn9.x86_64
Livna:gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.8-1.lvn10.x86_64

i.e. the Extras file lists only one gstreamer-related package, and it's
from Fedora, whereas the Livna file lists 3 different ones.

So I think the "yum list extras" is not the way to answer the OP's
question.
