Get the F11 updates version of yum from your favourite mirror 
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/
or from koji
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=102936
then upgrade to that version using rpm eg.
rpm -Fvh yum-3.2.23-3.fc11.noarch.rpm
This might ask for more packages, so if necessary download them and add 
them to the end of the rpm command until the install works. then try
yum update
again.
