That's right.  sources.redhat.com is pretty swamped and sometimes the mirrors
can't get through to download the latest software.  That is one reason why
mirrors are not always up to date.  If the mirror is set up to only mirror
once every other day and they couldn't get through on the scheduled time
then that puts the mirror out of date.
