The first thing I would do; split the repositories up. In your case I would have only the CentOS specific repositories available under "/etc/ yum.repos.d/" for CentOS. servers.
There are several ways to achieve this. - During the Kickstart process add a repository specifically for CentOS or Fedora in the "%post" section. - Create separate base classes, one for Fedora and one for CentOS. In each base class use the "yumrepo" type to define the different YUM repositories.
