If you're going to use up2date at all, you should configure it to use
the same repos that yum does. In FC4, this happens by default because
the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file contains just one entry of type
"repomd", which basically means "use the yum configuration". In older
versions of Fedora, you'd need to set up the other repos manually.
