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.
