No idea of the exact details, by default yum didn't use all that data so didn't download it (it's basically a full file list of everything in all rpms) until it actually did need it which was never for standard use cases. dnf downloads it all the time, this IMO is a regression which can cost non insignificant amounts of bandwidth (eg my parents have a 5Gb allocation a month, 40Mb a day * 30 days a month is 1.2Gb or over 20% of their allocation).
