If you are running FC4 it is most likely the rhn-applet. Since there are issues with rhn-applet and newer style yum repos [1], it doesn't realize that you are running Fedora, so it falls back to trying to talk to RHN. It would be rather simple to test by just exiting rhn-applet. If you are using FC4, it's not alerting you about updates anyway.
