Since yum has a local cache you may need
to invoke one of the "clean" flags for yum.
    * clean [ packages | headers | metadata | dbcache | all ]

If you do a clean all we will not know which of the set  is bogus...
My bet is the dbcache.... with metadata to show.

Given what we now know, it might be good to copy the cache of
packages and do a local compare of any that are freshly downloaded.

Since yum depends on RPM you should be able to download individual
packages and then inspect each with RPM tools as you are doing...
