Not a misconfiguration of yum, most likely.  I've had similar problems...

Until I changed where YUM looks.

edit /etc/yum.conf

Look for the line
baseurl=http://whiteboxlinux.org/....

Change it to reflect one of the mirrors:
[base]
name=White Box Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://ftp.jach.hawaii.edu/pub/linux/whitebox/$releasever/en/os/$basearch

[updates-released]
name=White Box Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://ftp.jach.hawaii.edu/pub/linux/whitebox/$releasever/en/updates/

You can find the list of mirrors here:
http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/download.html

Works for me..
