Is anyone else seeing this situation?
I subscribe to the announce digest, and for the last four or five announcements that contained updates to CentOS 5, I've been unable to get a successful run of yum update for as much as 24 hours after the announcement. The last time around, I tried at about 5 hours after the posting, and yum couldn't see anything. I ran yum clean all, and yum update still couldn't see anything. In general, if I wait a day, the updates load just fine, but that just feels wrong.
I do have the fastestmirror plugin installed (and priorities).
Thanks.

Yes, I HAVE but no, I'm not. I really don't know what's different, either. The announcement is dated Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:00:02 -0400 and at 13:25 -0500 (2.4 hours later) I see a new kernel, new kernel-devel, updated kernel-doc, updated kernel-headers and 6 updated user packages ready to go.
I regard the delay as "normal", current behavior to be an anomaly
