Yum clean all just removes your rpms that were installed  and are 
accumulating until the cleanup cronjob for yum takes place. It removes 
the headers also.

Check your repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d to make sure that the 
repositories are enabled for updates, extras and the base repositories. 
It should have enabled=1 as the repo file below shows.
Another possibility is that your fedora-release package is messed up and 
not pointing to the correct release information. The $releasever 
(release version) is taken from this package. If you upgraded, It might 
be looking for your older installation files, depending upon how you 
setup your repos.

Just a few possibilities.
