I was looking at the anaconda installer command line options 
  at this link and noticed a couple of options that might be 
of help to you.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options

They are the repo= and stage2= options.  In particular it 
seems that if the stage2= option is provided and left empty 
anaconda will look at the repositories in the yum.repos.d 
directory to find it.  That seems like it would be a good 
thing for you.  Perhaps you could try running preupgrade and 
providing that option.  I really am not very familiar with 
the working of preupgrade so this is a longshot.
