I see this on a regular basis at work.  Best I can gather is that our
local proxy server is doing caching of the files and not checking 
the original site for changes.  I have had some success with a shell
script containing the following:

cd /tmp
wget --cache=off http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/extras/3/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/3/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/extras/3/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz


This seems to reload the cache on the proxy server.  I update it as new
xml.gz files pop up.
