Probably you were unlucky and updated during a small window when the
metadata was inconsistent, at least I remember other cases where the
failure reason was this.
I experienced this problem, too, and the window was quite large. I refreshed
the directory index[1] and noticed that package timestamps were being updated
one at a time (in alphabetical order). It's hard to say exactly what the
window was, but the repo was down for starting at at least 10:00 am local
time, and by 5:00 pm, it was still at "tex-lshort". I'm guessing the total
downtime was probably around 15 to 20 hours.
I think the reason for this were not changes to the repo but changes to
the servers, which were done by the fedora infrastructure team.

I think this could explain the problems accessing the repo.

Are updates happening over rsync? If so, would it be possible in the future
to use the "--delay-updates" option, which would minimize this problem?
