Don't worry about them. They are harmless.

I've never had yum update screw up any distribution. Even test2.
It is safe and recommended to run yum update - however, this is a test
release - if you want to use a stable release where you will be less
likely to encounter problems, install Fedora Core 1 or wait for Core 2
final.

It is possible that you will have some issues after updating, it is also
possible that many issues (even ones you don't know about) will go away.

It is a test release - don't use it if testing isn't your cup of jawa
juice.
