There is a terrible answer here, which is that you make users of PackageKit
swallow a scheduled job that keeps all metadata fresh.  Every few hours it just
pulls down every single bit of metadata out there (think apt-get --update). 
That way whenever you go to use PackageKit, 9 times out of 10 you have the
latest metadata and there is no need to go download anything new.  And if there
is a repo that is out of date (and we already have ways of discovering this
very quickly/easily) the amount of new stuff to download will be quite small as
compared to downloading for every repo.
