you didnt answer the question, and I think you are making an invalid assumption.
Hand editting /etc/fedora-release is not sufficient.
man yum.conf
$releasever
This will be replaced with the value of the version of the pack-
age listed in distroverpkg. This defaults to the version of the
package redhat-release
yum does not read the string in /etc/fedora-release, yum queries the
rpmdb and asks what the version of fedora-release package that you
have installed from the rpm database.
