Works for me. yum-3.1.6 and yum-presto-0.3.9-1. Uncommented the devel 
repo in presto.conf. Ran yum update and the last set of updates from 
rawhide saves me 65 precent. 18M downloads instead of 50M otherwise.

Before I say yes though there is no indication that presto is working. 
Only that it is enabled. It would be nice to get some kind of indication 
that the yum package sizes are the deltarpms instead of the full rpms. 
Maybe give the full rpm sizes along with the deltas or specify [delta] 
near the package names.

If you plan on providing the full and delta sizes in parallel, here is a 
mockup (yeah text mockups!)


Package   Arch version repository  delta(or full) size

Evolution i386 2.10    development  248k (20M full size)
...
...
Total download size: 18M (50M full size)


Maybe that's too confusing.
