I had this problem too, but it seemed that changes to
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo did not 'take'.

Check /etc/yum.repos.d for *.rpmnew versions of your repo files.

'Installing' the new ones fixed this problem for me (e.g., mv
fedora-development.repo fedora-development.old; mv
fedora-development.repo.rpmnew fedora-development.repo).
