Just a datapoint: The mirror list is updated twice a day.  It checks
that the most current package on sources.redhat.com is available on the
mirror.  If the mirror is not current, it is marked.  If, on the next
scan, it is still not current, it is dropped from the list until it
becomes current.  So, mirrors should not be out-of-date for more than 48
hours.
