Sorry, but I do not have /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron
This is all part of the systemd fungus experience as it attempts to engulph all of linux.
An rpm -q --list mlocate shows these files on my fedora 24 system:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.timer
So it is now running on a systemd timer, not in cron (this helps make sure no one has any idea what the heck is going on).
