Add exclude=phonon-backend-vlc to the builders' rpmfusion-free*.repo files, 
or more likely to the corresponding sections of their mock .cfg files.

Nothing should BuildRequire phonon-backend-vlc anyway.

The packages are requiring the virtual phonon-backend (dragged in by phonon 
which is dragged in by phonon-devel), which is provided by both phonon-
backend-gstreamer and phonon-backend-vlc. Normally, in Fedora, this is 
phonon-backend-gstreamer, but with RPM Fusion enabled, yum prefers phonon-
backend-vlc because of its preference criteria (fewer dependencies, shorter 
name etc.). If you exclude phonon-backend-vlc from the builders' repo 
config, the builds should get phonon-backend-gstreamer dragged in instead, 
which is normally in working state.

That problem would also go away if you implement the above change.
