Another poster was complaining about yum failing to find any updates mirrors for his FC6 x86_64 boxes. Turned out that the mirror which is listed in the Fedora Public Active Mirrors site for FC6-x86_64 does not have an updates directory for that release. Try using a fixed mirror. Do verify that the selected mirror actually has an updates directory. I've posted the question regarding the mirrorslist to the fedora-infrastructure mailing list. Don't know if the moderator will let the message through since I'm not a registered member.
