This is normal and unchanged for a very long time. It's not just like
that for the last 24h. You've been chasing ghosts. fedora-development
inherits packages, which have not been rebuilt, from Fedora 6 and
Fedora 7. Only new builds get the .fc8 dist tag when they use %dist in
the spec file. The Fedora 7 release notes explain why Fedora 7
contains packages with .fc6 in their release version.

Update your bookmarks, because the directory layout has changed some weeks ago:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/os/

Conclusively, are you aware that you don't refer to Fedora 6 but
Fedora Development (aka rawhide)? You don't run Fedora 6 when you have
that repository enabled. And yes, there are ordinary broken
dependencies in fedora development. See the daily rawhide report on
fedora-devel list or fedora-test list.
