You seem to be quite capable of shooting yourself in the foot so I
will not help you with the debugging of your repo files.  I will,
however, quote a troubleshooting tip:

TIP:  When modifying a system always back up file(s) before you modify.

That way you can fall back to them when things go wrong.

Now, move all the .repo files except fedora-core.repo,
fedora-updates.repo, and fedora-extras.repo into new directory, e.g.
/etc/yum.repos.d/other. Make sure that the three remaining
fedora-xxxx.repo files have "enabled=1" set. Undo any changes that you
have made to yum.conf. If those files do not work get back to the
list.
