I don't know of a distro that does all three, but Gentoo has a bleeding-edge configuration and a rolling release candidate configuration. There aren't fixed releases at all, but users who want to avoid getting new major versions of particular packages can mask all later major versions (and inspect the list of upgrades before making them, so they can see upgrades they will want to avoid and mask them).
I think the backports style is insufficient, because what's largely missing is a configuration that is essentially backports from the version of fedora that hasn't been released to the current version (where rawhide fails on the fact that it's got tons of versions that wouldn't make it through QA into a release).

Fedora does have a early branching system at the moment and you can use
Fedora 13 branch and it's different from rawhide in the sense that all updates usually go via an updates-testing repository to the base repository and Fedora is trying to improve the quality of rawhide itself via some automated QA tests.
