Well, it actually says....

  yumdownloader options:
    --destdir=DESTDIR   destination directory (defaults to current directory)
    --urls              just list the urls it would download instead of
                        downloading
    --resolve           resolve dependencies and download required packages
    --source            operate on source packages
    --archlist=ARCHLIST
                        only download packages of certain architecture(s)

So, those 5 options are the ones that apply to "yumdownloader".  Since there is no mention of --enablerepo being part of the options applicable to "yumdownloader" it implies that option is not available/needed.

In the man page is says:
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
       Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the yum(8) man page for more information

--enablerepo can be used with yumdownloader. So the --help message should say something like:
Yum Base Options (inherited by yumdownloader)
