FWIW, I have this problem with 5.6. Are you installing from a local repo? If you are, try rsyncing the repo again. See if it changes the repodata files at all. I have yet to find why my repodata files are changing for the main repo (I didn't build our original repo servers, there are a bunch of random scripts that run that were created by a previous admin), but re-syncing the repos seems to stop that error from popping up during a kickstart.
