men , first uninstall your additionals installation , after on guest
system , with some browser 
go to http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration 
click on RPM Fusion free for Fedora 20 and install it , if you want sign
verification , but you may trust on this package for a quick install
see
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/37820/confusion-with-rpm-fusions-signing-keys/?answer=38282#post-id-38282

after that :
yum install VirtualBox-guest kmod-VirtualBox 
restart X or vm 
and it is installed and you don't need worry about upgrade kernels
anymore
