Huh. Something broken on your end, but what? The only thing that looks
funny to me in your output is

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's not a standard plugin (leastwise I don't see it when I run yum)
so I'm wondering if it's pointing you to a dysfunctional mirror. Try
disabling it.

FWIW, as of today I see this on my F16 machine:

[tgl(at)rh3 ~]$ sudo yum check-update
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
updates/metalink | 16 kB 00:00
updates | 4.5 kB 00:00
updates/primary_db | 5.0 MB 00:02
updates/group_gz | 431 kB 00:00
updates-debuginfo/metalink | 13 kB 00:00
updates-debuginfo | 3.1 kB 00:00
updates-debuginfo/primary_db | 391 kB 00:00

The fact that your "updates/primary_db" is smaller than mine seems
pretty suspicious. I wonder whether you've been seeing any Fedora
updates at all lately? Maybe everything you've updated has been coming
from those non-Fedora repos.
