Here is the "problem". The RPM Fusion testing repos depend on the
testing repos from Fedora, hence that suggestion is misleading, as the
newest kmod in rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing are build against an
kernel that currenctly is in Fedoras updates-testing. Hence a command
like this will likely work just fine:
yum install --enablerepo=*testing kmod-nvidia

Just my option: I don't think kmod are the best solution for situations
like this, as akmods (like every dynamic way of compiling something
agains a moving target) bear a lot of risk to break sooner or later.
