You can download the fedora-release package from the os directory for 
FC5 on a selected mirror. You will need to use rpm to install the 
fedora-release packages.

Also, since you edited the files, the new repo files will probably be 
saved with an rpmnew extension. Move the messed up files out of the way 
and take off the rpmnew file extension from the repo files with the 
March 14th date. The March 14th dated files are the correct versions.

After making the corrections to the repo files, running yum should work 
as desired.
