That is correct.  What do you get with the command:

yum --enablerepo=centosplus list | grep centosplus

It should give you an output similar to this:

dmapi.i386                               2.2.1-1                centosplus

php-bcmath.i386                          5.0.4-2.centos4        centosplus

php-xml.i386                             5.0.4-2.centos4        centosplus
reiserfs-utils.i386                      2:3.6.19-2             centosplus
xfsdump.i386                             2.2.25-1               centosplus
xfsprogs.i386                            2.6.25-1               centosplus
xfsprogs-devel.i386                      2.6.25-1               centosplus

(you should have some other items, as I have some centosplus items
installed and installed items don't show up in this list)

If that doesn't work, what is the output of the command:

rpm -q yum centos-yumconf centos-release
