I don't think so. 

fastestmirror chooses download.fedora.redhat.com for me also, which
doesn't seem to be some round robin dns box. And there are mirrors in my
vicinity (Germany, Europe) which should supposedly be faster than
anything at *.redhat.com for me. 

And: If something times out while downloading, yum directly comes back
to me telling me, that it has run out of mirrors to try.
