These messages mean exactly what they say; you have multiple repos
called updates-released and base; perhaps one in yum.conf and another in
yum.repos.d; this typically happens after an upgrade from FC2, where the
new yum.conf is installed as yum.conf.rpmnew, leaving the FC2 repos in
yum.conf and the FC3 repos in yum.repos.d.

If you've updated from a test release, you might have rawhide yum repos
in yum.conf rather than FC2 repos. This might explain why your system
got upgraded to rawhide. If you have a /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew, I'd try:

# cd /etc
# mv yum.conf yum.conf.orig
# mv yum.conf.rpmnew yum.conf

You may need to edit the resulting yum.conf to change distroverpkg from
redhat-release to fedora-release.

Then try again.
