Unfortunately no. The rpm command doesn't understand the concept of obsoleted packages, which is why upgrading via rpm is not supported. The yum command can perform this function, but once you have upgraded the way you did, your system is a mess.

I suggest backing up your data, and performing a clean (format/partition) install of FC3.

If you want to keep your system "as is," you'll have to do it manually and hope you don't totally screw it up. I'd suggest doing what macemoneta says...
