I expect not.

You would need to just update fedora-release first. This updates the yum 
repo files to point to the fedora 7 release repos. Then {maybe need a 
yum clean metadata dbcache ?} yum update. If you were already up to date 
{from the development repo on F7t4} then there should only be minimal 
changes.

I think you are seeing the packages that have been held of development 
while the release is knocked into shape -> ie what will eventually 
become F8.
