Your setup looks extremely messy.

Since you've manally changed /etc/fedora-release file - it was not
updated (when you installed the new rpm) . You'll have to do something
like:

mv /etc/fedora-release.rpmnew  /etc/fedora-release

can you also do the following (and send the info)?

rpm -q fedora-release
rpm -V fedora-release
