check to make sure the yum.conf you have does not have the
distroverpkg package defined overriding the default.

By default yum sets distroverpkg at what provides the redhat-release
you can check that on your system with this
rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release  --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n"

all you should see listed is fedora-release-9-5.transition
