This is the stuff you'll see like: https://fedora.mirrorservice.org/fedora/linux/development/41/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/ those archives contain a lot of the pre-calculated RPM package dependencies (the requires/provides.) Your local dnf will have its own cache of this metadata (unless this has changed significantly for dnf5) which is refreshed by default every 90 minutes. `dnf makecache` creates/updates this cache, `dnf clean` blats it causing subsequent runs to pull a new version of the cache.
