Meanwhile I rebooted (for unrelated reasons), now the ssl-errors are 
gone. So, it have been could be your or my end - No idea.

Yes, yes and yes ... BTW: koji/fedpkg now seems to work again.

Yes, my point is it is X times trying in vain to access a host to 
download X packages. Not sure what happens when this happens with a real

mirrors.
