You might get better answers if you say what the problem is that you're
actually trying to fix.

Yum will look in the places specified in your yum.conf file for updated
versions of packages you already have, so the URLs can be constructed by
looking at the repository locations you have specified for any updated
versions of the packages you are using, and appending the package file
name to the repository URL.
