What do you get when you try this? 

sudo yum upgrade updates.testing R


I get:

.....
No Match for argument: updates.testing
No package updates.testing available.
No packages marked for update

There you go...that is pretty indicative.

You should try:

sudo yum update --enablerepo updates-testing R

though it is not clear why anyone would include updates-testing, since
the last time an updated R was released by CRAN was in early summer and
is current in the Fedora repos.

HTH,
Ranjan
