Indeed there is but at the moment yum doesn't understand heirarchy rules for
repositories - not that I'm sure it should. Also for packages going to 
Fedora/RHEL/related systems that are applications it probably is generally
the case there are no complex dependancies (as opposed to shipping libraries)
and you could if need be add release related info to the XML (in fact since
yum has $foo macros it 'just works').

Solving the entire problem is hard, solving the bit that matters to most users
is not.
