Hmm, seems I was wrong - I thought FC had repodata for updates SRPMS as well but not so :( It should be here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/repodata/ but isn't. So you'd need to create your own repository for those.. or better, ask RH to run createrepo on SRPMS as well. - Panu -
