I forgot about expire-cache, so just did 'clean all' and it still didn't
work. yum-cron is a POS, so I just uninstalled it on all the systems
anyway. It could never handle connection timeout issues very well, so
screw it.
I found one other current report from someone else with no answer, so
I'm increasingly thinking it's some kind of real bug.
Thanks,
Alex
