How to install puppet devel version from yum?

Question

In /etc/yum.repos.d/puppet.repo have I put

[puppetlabs]
name=Puppet Labs Packages
baseurl=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/$releasever/devel/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs

and when I do

yum info puppet-server

it doesn't mention puppet-server-3.0.0-0.1rc3 as being an option despite it is in the repository http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/devel/x86_64/

What am I doing wrong?

Using CentOS 6.3 64bit.

rpm -Uvh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/devel/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-devel-6-1.noarch.rpm

No idea, why this works, but it does.

All it contains are

[root@puppet ~]# rpm -ql puppetlabs-release-devel-6-1
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs-devel
/etc/yum.repos.d/puppetlabs-devel.repo

[root@puppet ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/puppetlabs-devel.repo
[puppetlabs-devel]
name=Puppet Labs Devel 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/devel/$basearch
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs-devel
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

It adds the puppetlabs-devel repo to yum. Once it's there, you can manage packages from the puppet dev channel within your standard yum setup. – cjc Jul 20 '12 at 11:46
The only difference I can see is the `baseurl` which should resolve to the same? – Sandra Jul 20 '12 at 11:59
Hmm, good point. – cjc Jul 20 '12 at 12:15
