That is, why does yum do something different after a 'yum clean all'? Shouldn't it be trying all the mirrors anyway if it fails to get a file for any reason?
Because "yum clean all" will delete your mirrorlist.txt file, so then you could be (and I assume are) talking to a different set of mirrors on any subsequent runs. "yum clean expire-cache" is the less expensive way of doing the same thing.
