It could be that the Fedora Infrastructure server you were connecting to at the moment was unavailable. There's 2-3 front-end servers and 2 application servers for the mirrorlists, all load-balanced, so this shouldn't happen, but occasionally it can. If you can reliably reproduce this, please join #fedora-admin on freenode and poke people like myself there to diagnose while it's happening.
