Here are several suggestions:

1. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo, disable the mirrorslist,
and enable the main fedora server.
2. Find a fast mirror that has the kernel you seek. Create a separate
repo file for it.
3. Use a combination of 1 and 2. (It does not hurt to have multiple
repositories enabled.)
