I'm probably just misreading your message, but only use ONE baseurl= 
per server section. List other urls on the following line(s).

>From $man yum.conf

baseurl
	must be a url to the directory where the yum repository’s 	’headers’
directory lives.  Can be an http://, ftp:// or 	file://url.  You can
specify multiple urls in one baseurl 	statement. The best way to do this
is like this:

              [serverid]
              name=Some name for this server
              baseurl=url://server1/path/to/repository/
                      url://server2/path/to/repository/
                      url://server3/path/to/repository/

        If you list more than one baseurl= statement in a repository you
        will  find  yum  will  ignore  the earlier ones and probably act
        bizarrely. Don’t do this, you’ve been warned.
