Since Adobe does not make a PPC Linux build of their Flash player, we have to use Flash alternatives like gnash or swfdec. For youtube, I use this method here:

Your repositories look messed up. First - adobe-linux-i386 has no purpose being on a YDL system. That repository is for x86 processors, and YDL runs on PowerPC processors only.

Second - for what you're trying to do, you'll probably need to add the extra 3 repositories - Fedora-extras, Livna-stable and dribble. There are instructions on how to do this here:

Howto: Install software (the easy way) YDL 6
