the 1.90 comes from fedora-release package. You could do:
cat /etc/fedora-release
rpm -q fedora-release

Its a yum lock file issue. Previous run left the lock file - but there was
no running process - hence the message.

You could verify if you have a proper working yum - and perhaps update to the latest
verson - and try again:

rpm -q python yum
rpm -V python yum

the yum.conf file looks ok to me. So there is some python/yum error thats causing
you grief..
