Your guess may be accurate.

Note that I upgraded Fedora 11 x86_64 to Fedora 13 x86_64. That's two
versions. I actually tried the Fedora 14 DVD, but it said it could only
go back to Fedora 12. Nevertheless, after upgrading to Fedora 13 Yumex
lists pages and pages of updates. 

Moreover, about a third of my installed apps will not launch. Using
Yumex I discovered that those that will not launch were apparently not
upgraded by the DVD. Perhaps I should have done the Preupgrade instead. 

One by one I am going through my Appliications menu and using Yumex to
update everything that will not launch. I have made it through all the
folders except System Tools. Using Yumex I have fixed everything except
all the OOo applications, Pulseaudio Device Chooser, and Praat. The OOo
applications were installed from openoffice.org, not the Fedora repos.
I'll probably end up just uninstalling and reinstalling them. Praat is
a mystery, but I'm subscribed to their e-list and someone will probably
come up with a solution. Pulseaudio Device Chooser is probably not
worth bothering with.

Having gone through the majority of my installed apps, the error
message "Authentication denied ..." is no longer popping up. I have no
idea why. But I'm happy to live with the outcome. :)
