Is that rpm in your configured enabled repos:
yum list util-lin*

I think by default only the newest will be shown.

eg: on F9
$ yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora list kernel
Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, downloadonly, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata
No Presto metadata available for fedora
