This problem normally occurs when the repositories for smart
are not the same as those set up for yum.
I run Smart on all my FC5 boxes, and Yumex as well. They are
configured the same, though I haven't bothered to enter all the
mirrors in Smart that are looked up by Yumex - it's one area
where Smart is a bit cumbersome, so I haven't bothered. So, the
repos are exactly the same on my machines for both package
managers, but the Yumex configuration has more mirrors to try.
