You need to be sure the /etc/fedora-release specifies Fedora Core 4.
Also the the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ have the correct URLs,
with 4 rather than 3.
Actually I have $releasever in mine, as in
baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
in which case there is no need to change anything.
I'd also make sure no non-standard repositories are enabled,
eg livna, dag, fedora-devel, etc.
(It doesn't matter if they are there, as long as the entry has "enabled=0".
Then you can include them if you like with
eg "yum --enablerepo=dag update".)
