This is unlikely to be a puppet issue.
You are most likely to be hitting an issue in your yum configuration
with metadata_expire being to high.
metadata_expire
Time (in seconds) after which the metadata will expire. So that
if the current metadata downloaded is less than this many sec-
onds old then yum will not update the metadata against the
repository. If you find that yum is not downloading information
on updates as often as you would like lower the value of this
option.
If say you are updating a package in the repo (and removing the old)
and it's less than metadata_expire your yum client may be looking for
the old removed package.
