Your mirror is not up to date. The metalink looks especially at the
repodata/repomd.xml file and that has not been updated for two weeks on
your mirror.

If you look at your MirrorManager entry you can find the log file of the
crawler and it will tell you something like this:

Directory ... is not up-to-date on this host.

Or looking at: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/host/1804/category/6950

You will also see that the repodata directory is not listed as an up to
date directory.

As soon as the crawler sees that your mirror is up to date again it will show
up in the metalink again.
