There was a similar discussion a few months ago, and I think the final answer is, the current script that returns the list is not perfect. The logic has room for improvement.
That being said, you can try to run the same link (given earlier) again from another host, and see if the results are the same. Once a host makes a query, the results are cached for a certain time, so running the same request from the same host in quick succession will give you the same results. I am not sure what the default length of the duration is.
In our data center, most of the time, we are returned as the top search result. But, there are times when we see other mirrors listed above us, and sometimes even ones located in Hong Kong, Singapore or even Japan!
There is a current effort towards improving this feature, along with some other aspects of CentOS Mirror Infrastructure. A IRC meeting was held on Oct/25. Link to the transcripts are available in the relevant thread.

Hi Prasad, You can try to run: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5.5&arch=x86_64&repo=os The list is what Yum sees. Regards HASSAN
NB: Fedora is quite volatile, isn't it?

I want this to get reflected in the Yum search of Centos. How does that happen?
Thanks Durga Prasad

Hi All, How does our Site get Included in the Fastestmirror plugin search
of
Centos Yum.? We are not seeing any traffic to our site http://mirros.gitam.edu/fedora
Why /fedora? This is Centos. Plus, mirros.gitam.edu doesn't resolve (which could explain the
absence
of traffic). You might want to fix the above.
