So, the initrd for the F20 release kernel 3.11.10-301.fc20 is missing
here, too:

  + echo '### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###'
  + /etc/grub.d/10_linux
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64
  Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64.img
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-26b05c2e8b5144b4b396c604c823681b
  Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-0-rescue-26b05c2e8b5144b4b396c604c823681b.img
  + echo '### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###'

Have you ever booted with that kernel after installing F20?
Probably not. ;)

Everything related to updating grub.cfg should work normally for the
next kernel update.

Once you've booted to the latest kernel, you could erase the previous
kernel with "yum remove kernel-3.11.10-301.fc20" or generate the missing
initrd for it as a fallback:
 
  $ su -
  # dracut /boot/initramfs-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64.img 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64
