Yes, but only for the "official" repositories.

The $releasever variable in the .repo files expands to "3" on FC3 and 
"4" on FC4.

Which repos do you have configured? If you do a "yum check-update", 
which repositories are listed?

Did you download rpm packages and install them manually using rpm, or do 
you always use yum?
