My understanding is that the virt-preview repo is only maintained for
the current-latest release of Fedora, so now that F21 is out, the F20
virt-preview has become stale. Maybe you could upgrade to F21? I've done
that on two machines using fedup recently (one just last night) and it
went very smoothly.

Here's what I did:

    yum update
    yum install fedup
    fedup --network 21 --product=nonproduct
    (wait for awhile, then reboot and let it continue)

If I recall correctly (last night was a *very long* time ago!) the only
issues were 1) some gnome-shell extensions needed manual upgrading after
the OS upgrade was done, during either the first or 2nd reboot of the
upgrade, systemd got hung up waiting forever for my encrypted disk
device to shutdown, and I eventually hit the reset button.
