I know exactly what happened...  If you had done updates recently (in
the last month, maybe a little less), you would have got the
fedora-release-11 package installed, which would have made you track the
release version instead of rawhide.

It's not a major deal though (at least not if the system still boots :-).
All you need to do is the following:

  rpm -Uvh --oldpackage \
    http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm \
    http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm

After that, you won't get rawhide content (unless you've manually changed
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo).  The rawhide packages you already have
shouldn't cause you any real headaches, but if they do, it's fairly easy
to back out of those too.
