Had I seen this before you diddled the repos, I would have said to update yum 
and the packagekit by hand, then use the update  tool in GNOME 
system->admin->upgrade to do the rest. You're probably far beyond the help of 
that by now, and if you can save and reinstall a stock F11 it would probably be 
the least likely to require more questions here.

I have some systems updated as above, some installed from the LiveCD, and some 
from the DVD, occasionally using the DVD image on disk and doing a network 
install if I have fast network.
