I finally figured out what happened. I had inadvertantly turned on the enable flag for some of the "development" repo files. This indeed caused an upgrade to the latest. I had a mixture of fc5, fc6, and fc7 packages installed. I restarted from the original FC4 base. This time, I made sure all the devlelopement packages were turned off. The FC4 to FC5 upgrade went much smoother. I did the install from another file system using the --installroot option. I needed to do this because for whatever reason, I needed to remove the librpm4.4 package, which in turn causes yum to be removed. Using the --installroot option from another file system allowed me to remove yum then reinstall yum. I have finally upgraded FC4 to FC5 via yum.
