I just did a manual resync of my local update repo from mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/updates/i386/
I got a new version of Thunderbird, but not a new set of files in the repodata directory. Thus when I did a yum update against my local repo, I did not get the new version of Thunderbird.
I will note that the files on my local repo are dated Dec 20th and the ones on mirrors are dated Dec 21st. The command I am using is:
#!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.1/updates/i386
Oh, and the old version of Thunderbird was not deleted....

I confirm this. The metadata files remained the same when a new thunderbird file was added to the RPMS directory earlier today.

This has to do with the timezone. You are seeing the UTC on the mirror.

The files have just been updated on mirrors including kernel.org. I was able to update my local repo from there. yum update should find the new thunderbird now.
