It looks like the culprit is IPv6 according to a post on the CentOS Mirrors mailing list (http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-mirror/2015-May/008847.html):
Hello,
mirrorlist.centos.org currently doesn't correctly answer on IPv6 - The request succeeds superficially (200 OK), but the answer is empty:

Thanks for looking into it!
(Also, I wonder why the results don't contain centos.mirrors.ovh.net which should be closest - but that's another question for another time.)
