sudo yum install skype-<version>-fedora.i586.rpm works just fine.

What are you doing? Skype is a closed source package. What made you
think it might be available in Fedora repository.
You are suppose to download the Skype package from official source
skype.com.
64 bit system - Install both dependencies and skype package.
32 bit system - Just install the skype package.
For those wanting hassle free updates I highly suggest negativo's repository[1].
