After you have run "yum clean metadata" it is too late to tell. You need to backup the metadata so it could be examined further. You find it below /var/cache/yum in the sub-directories for the individual repositories, e.g. in /var/cache/yum/updates for the default Fedora Updates repo. Pay extra attention to the date of the "cachecookie" and repomd.xml files. Compare the date of the repomd.xml file with your favourite Fedora Mirror to find out how old the metadata are. It can happen that the mirror system assigns a mirror to you which still serves older but valid files which are not up-to-date compared with the master server. When the cached metadata files expire automatically or are deleted by you it can happen that you are assigned to an up-to-date mirror when you're lucky enough. Else it needs more patience. Btw, "yum clean all" is overhead as it also cleans packages from the cache.
