The issue was that we use a hard linker on our mirrors (to save space) ... so if 2 (or more) files have the same CRC info, they are linked to the same physical file. The hard linker found that all the "zero RPMs in a repo" metadata was the same and hard linked them all together ... but the "Date" on those metadata files was older than the date on the 6.0 CR repo files. So, if you had cached CR metadata, the system thought it was newer than the current metadata, and therefore did not replace it. We just recreated the metadata to be a newer date than the 6.0 CR metadata and that fixed the issue.
