Updates are queued, the ppp-2.4.5 update caught me off guard so I didn't
synchronize the move of NM & NM-pptp from updates-testing to updates
proper.   In the mean time you can:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update NetworkManager*

and that will pull down the correct versions.  This has been extensively
covered in the following bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543002  (nm-pptp)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548520  (nm itself)
