Two things are wrong with your yum.conf:

a) you are trying to hit the overworked redhat.com site. Comment out 
those lines and put in appropriate mirrors.

b) you still don't have fedora.us set up to work with livna.

livna.org must have fedora.us to play together! There is a large red box 
on the livna site telling you so. Please visit http://rpm.livna.org to 
see the large red box and read it.

You may want to simply use this sample yum.conf, which addresses both 
issues:

Hope this helps,
