I do not work for Red Hat so this is still not an offical response.

Apparent, someone at Red Hat deleted the redirects on http://fedora.redhat.com 
(actually, the save systems as http://www.redhat.com so it needs to redirect 
because of loading).  These redirects are not back in place and you do not 
need to modify /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.

However, there is an update to rhn-applet available but you will not see it if 
you wait for an "updates available" "red-bang" indication.  If you run 
up2date, it will be seen (along with any other updates not yet applied).  
Once you get the rhn-applet package update installed, it will follow the 
redirects and indicate when packages are available [this was just 
demonstrated to me with the sed update available on update-test].
