Take a look at your .repo files located under /etc/yum.repos.d. Also, ensure you have a good connection to the Internet. I will assume that you are posting from the same system that is experiencing the issue; therefore, that leads me to believe your connection is good.

Just before this gets writen off as a general bug, ensure that your nameservers are correct in resolv.conf. It's a possibility... if those are wrong then yum will probably only be checking your local machine and you'll get problems like you are experiencing where yum is actually failing to find most of the repositories all together. If your not sure then paste the nameservers you have in resolv.conf here.
