You could try replacing mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch ... with ... mirrorlist=https://66.35.62.166/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch *This is a temporary and ugly work-around* You should revert to the original when things get fixed. I will forward the mail to the infrastructure list and see if someone can check it. Will keep you updated.
