It sounds like you are expressing a problem with yum-utils's createrepo 
from EL4 not working against EL 5 repos.
While this problem is new to me, you should probably run from an EL-5 
server, that has a createrepo that can grok both.

In either case, it's a problem with the createrepo program and not 
something Cobbler is really involved with.  It may be solved
by a simple upgrade of the package.
