I doubt that you'll be able to pull a clean upgrade between RHEL and FC using yum... it may even fail to upgrade between different consecutive Fedora versions. (Hence it's unsupported...) I'd back what I need (home, /etc) and do a fresh installation. Oh, you might consider using FC5. At least IMO, FC5 is better.
