Probably from some dumb advice on this list. I keep seeing people
stupidly say do "yum clean all" to solve some problem. I say
"stupidly," because they offer the advice without good reason, or when
it's got absolutely nothing to do with the problem.
It's the same as Windows users blindly doing reboot & reinstall. Hoping
that for some strange reason, doing the exact same thing over and over
will generate a different result.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
