This is probably nothing to do with what you are seeing, but you are
specifying the base and updates-released repos twice; probably once
in /etc/yum.conf and then again in /etc/yum.repos.d/{fedora.repo,
fedora-updates.repo}. I'd suggest removing or commenting out the entries
for the base and updates-released repos in your /etc/yum.conf
