yum repository synchronization time?

Hi,

sometimes I'm looking for new package versions within the yum
repositories because they should fix security issues.

Therefore I go to
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packages

and search for e.g. 'kernel'
then I see there is already a new kernel build 2.6.34.4:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=190874

But it is not yet available via yum:

repoquery -i kernel

Name        : kernel
Version     : 2.6.33.8
Release     : 149.fc13
Architecture: x86_64
Size        : 108243345
Packager    : Fedora Project
Group       : System Environment/Kernel
URL         : http://www.kernel.org/
Repository  : updates-testing
Summary     : The Linux kernel


Shouldn't this package (kernel-2.6.34.4-42.fc13.x86_64.rpm) be available
already?

It has the tag 'dist-f13-updates-candidate', is this equivalent to the
updates-testing repository?
(I also have the updates-testing repo enabled.)

Sometimes I download the rpm files manually but on the long run that
isn't very practical either (dependencies..).

kind regards,
Christoph
