You are correct. This is our in-house solution to use CDN to deliver Linux packages to our dedicated servers and VPS around the world with good speed, at the same time protect our master from being overloaded or otherwise under attack.

Since the master is in Canada and Canada is low on good mirrors (compared to say US), please list us in the Canada section if possible. We cannot remove the CDN in front as it's critical part of daily operation.

Thanks.

So mirrors.layeronline.com is hosted behind Cloudflade CDN.
The question would then be : when the mirror crawler process will try to
validate that mirror, in fact it will not validate your single node, but
rather the nearest cloudflare cdn node, but not the whole cloudfare
setup for that A record.

And as our current system will associate your IP with a country only
(Canada in your case), pointing to a CDN will be useless, as we'll never
include that mirror in our yum mirrorlists for other countries

Trying to get your opinion on your proposal.
