Your config is OK. Both the mirrors and repos are hosted by 
fedora.redhat.com and since yesterday afternoon they've had a page up 
saying they've been smoked by the Core 6 traffic. So you can't get to the 
repos or the list of mirror sites to go look elsewhere. It seems that once 
the core repo can't be reached yum just croaks.
