I don't know any other way that remove new yum and install older version (I 
don't know much about this so this might be the wrong way to do this). 

I guess many yum repositories generate only headers with yum-arch, not 
metadata with createrepo because admins don't know about it. 

I have the same problem because my yum repository runs with debian (yum-arch 
1.x) and I was not able to get createrepo working with debian.
