Look at this bug ticket:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504888

So it appears you need to download and install the fc11 yum (most
probably if you do "rpm -q yum" you will see a Fedora 10 version). 

Here's a list of mirrors:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/x86_64/

And one possible link to the original fc11 release of yum for x86_64:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/11/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/yum-3.2.22-4.fc11.noarch.rpm

You can use "wget URL" to get the package and then "rpm -Uvh package" to
install it.
