Because the repositories that you now using are from f14.

There could be several reason for the problems you see. One example, imagine 
that a package has been discontinued in f14. If you have that file installed 
from f13 yum will refuse to remove it, unless you tell it otherwise. The 
problem with this package is that it could drag the update process due its 
dependencies not being fulfilled in f14.

In order to fix issues like this you can search for this information that is 
usually available either in the release notes or in the fedora wiki.

When running yum with --skip-broken it prints a nice list of conflits and the 
related reason why it has failed. Walktrough those and fix the dependencies as 
apropriate.
