Indeed there is no fedora6Workstation repository. Maybe did you mean EPEL6 or Rpmforge for CentOS6? What OS do you have?

If you're using RHEL6, you should stick strictly to the (paid for) RH repos.
Post your repo file contents.
If you use anything else, RH will refuse to support.

If you don't want to pay, switch to Centos 6 (free rebuild of RHEL; inc updates but not support).
Still not a good idea to add extra repos to the ones that come with it unless you know exactly what you are doing and use http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
