Well known issue with up2date. 
   http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html
is listing a lot of mirrors, e.g.

United Kingdom 
              * http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/
              * ftp://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/
              * rsync://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/fedora-linux-core/
              * http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/
              * ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/
              * rsync://rsync.mirror.ac.uk/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core

You should completely delete the link to redhat.com in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and replace it by one of the mirrors.
