So, it seems like I managed to correctly update the repodata and all, but originally, yum concluded that it didn't need to download a new version, but could use the one cached earlier. instead.
Does anyone have any idea why this happened? How exactly does yum decide when to download new headers and when to reuse cached data?
You probably want the /etc/yum.conf file. There should be a line in it right now that reads 'metadata_expire=1h'.

Rather than deleting that directory as a whole you would probably be better served by doing a yum clean metadata instead...
