new-xz hit the builders and all packages since then will use the new
format. With the next yum update, you get:
- the packages deltas with old-xz (which you didn't got already, but
  that doesn't matter, because you still have the old xz) and
- the packages deltas with new-xz, which will have the md5 mismatch

After that update, you only get package deltas with new-xz (or the
complete package, because it's not yet installed on your system), so it
should be only on *one* next yum update.

If that makes sense...
