Just wanted to make sure you were talking about fc development versus
fc4 updates-testing, since yum -2.4.1-1 is in both repos now.

As seth suggests set metadata_expire=reasonable number of seconds   in
your development repo definitions (to effect just those repos) or in
your main yum.conf(to effect all repos).  The time based  metadata
caching is a new feature for the 2.4.1 yum in rawhide.  The default is
currently 8 hours, meaning yum won't attempt to refresh its metadata
for 8 hours after its last metadata refresh.
