On the one hand, what you say makes sense. On the other hand, doing it the way I suggested yields the following:

Ignoring the difference in architecture between us, the only material difference shown by repolist are the test-updates present in mine and absent in yours. I have found including them not only works to avoid version conflicts but is also the procedure employed in the rpmfusion.org website itself.
