fedora-release for f15 from f14 - is this a bug?

I was starting to run through a yum upgrade from f14 to f15. So, as I
have done previously for other upgrades for versions up to f14, I
downloaded the f15 fedora-release-f15 rpm, and tried to install it
before yum upgrading.

The terminal session went like this once I was root and in the
directory containing the rpm:

[root at physics30 ~]# cd /home/mike/Documents/f15/
[root at physics30 f15]# ls
fedora-release-15-1.noarch.rpm
[root at physics30 f15]# rpm -q fedora-release
fedora-release-14-1.noarch
[root at physics30 f15]# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck
fedora-release-15-1.noarch.rpm

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Is this a bug or am I unable to use this technique any more? (it
worked fine when I was upgrading from f11-f12, f12-f13 and f13->f14)

Thanks for any suggestions.
